The authors analyzed the peculiarities of the pneumonia course in military personnel immunized with pneumococcal vaccine. 2000 patients with community-acquired pneumonia were examined. The peculiarities of the pneumonia course were studied in the control group (693 patients which were earlier immunized by “Pneumo-23” vaccine) and in the comparison group (1307 patients). It was determined that the incidence of severe community- acquired pneumonia among the immunized patients was 2,2 times lower, with moderate course - 1,2 times lower in comparison with non-immunized patients and with mild community-acquired pneumonia - 1,3 times higher. The number of community-acquired pneumonia complications in the immunized patients was 2 times lower than in the unvaccinated ones. More rapid regression of physical, laboratory and radiological signs of community-acquired pneumonia in the vaccinated patients was shown in comparison with the unvaccinated ones.
