An annual report on invasive pneumococcal disease is produced each year. The report includes information on incidence of disease and on laboratory surveillance. This page contains links to the annual reports from 2001.

Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in the very young, the elderly and those with predisposing risk factors. It is a leading cause of otitis media, pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis and a less frequent cause of other conditions including septic arthritis and mastoiditis. Invasive pneumococcal disease became a nationally notifiable disease in Australia in 2001. Annual reports have been produced and published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence since 2001.
