It is transmitted from sick or healthy carriers, usually through the air with saliva droplets emitted, for example, by coughing or sneezing. The bacterium can cause various diseases, which can be divided into non-invasive (eg. Pneumonia, ear infections, sinusitis, conjunctivitis) and invasive. There is talk of pneumococcal invasive disease when enters sterile sites such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid causing very serious diseases such as pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis and sepsis. These diseases can sometimes be fatal: in fact, every year in the world pneumococcus causes about 1.6 million deaths.

Risk factors were identified using the guidelines Italian and international. The estimated risk of the individual diseases was obtained by rigorous scientific data. For each disease is calculated the increased risk compared to people without the disease and is displayed on a color scale (yellow = low risk, medium risk = orange; red = high risk). The risk level has been calculated based on studies performed on non-vaccinated against pneumococcus.
