Abstract

Seventy-one isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were obtained from various clinical
specimens of sixty-six patients. Type of pneumococcal infections varied in different
age groups. Major brunt of the invasive pneumococcal infection was borne by infants
and children. Isolates from infected corneal ulcers were relatively resistant to
antimicrobials including penicillin, as compared to those isolated from normally
sterile body sites.

Key Words: Pneumoccoccal infection, antimicrobial susceptibility, Eastern Nepal.
