Abstract
Measures to limit SARS-CoV-2 transmission in 2020 reduced other viral infections. Among 7 US children's hospitals, invasive pneumococcal disease cumulative incidence decreased by 46% in 2020 vs 2017-2019. Limited droplet transmission of pneumococci and preceding viral pathogens may be responsible. Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society. All rights reserved.
