1Adapted from Tables 2 and 3 in reference 39. All rates have rounded to the nearest whole number. 2The rates shown in the column do not reflect the total number of cases of all pneumococcal CAP because not all cases could be detected by the BinaxNOW urinary antigen test. 3Cases of PCV7-serotype CAP were diagnosed by the Bio-Plex urinary antigen test. 4The rates shown in the column do not reflect the total numbers of cases of non-PCV7-serotype CAP. These numbers include Bio-Plex-positive cases with serotypes unique to PCV13 and cases with a positive BinaxNOW test but a negative Bio-Plex urinary antigen test. Other cases of non-PCV7-serotype CAP may have escaped detection because of the low sensitivity of BinaxNOW test.
