Abstract Immunoglobulins (Ig) are essential for protection against invading pneumococci but are not routinely analyzed in patients with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). In this prospective study, we assessed the prevalence of monoclonal Ig (M protein) and analyzed Ig concentrations in sera from 156 adult IPD patients (median age 70 years). Patients were sampled during acute infection (n = 153) and in the convalescence phase 2–4 months after acute infection (n = 76).
