Abstract
The proportion of relapses and reinfections that are potentially preventable by vaccine in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons with recurrent pneumococcal disease is unknown. Isolates from HIV-infected individuals from Baltimore with recurrent pneumococcal invasive disease were collected from 1 January 1995 through 31 December 2000. Serotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis were performed. From 1 January 1995 through 31 December 1998, 14.9% (404/2717) of those who had a pneumococcal infection were HIV infected. The recurrence rate among HIV-infected individuals was 6.4-fold higher than that among individuals without HIV infection (P
