Extractions: Articles Departments Patient Information ... Special Medical Reports Pertussis: An Update on Primary Prevention and Outbreak Control Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by Bordetella pertussis . Outbreaks of the disease are now occurring every three to four years in highly immunized populations throughout the United States and are a significant health threat despite widespread vaccination and effective therapy. Unfortunately, pertussis vaccine provides only transient protection. Infected adults and adolescents with mild disease are the reservoir for more severe infection in infants and young children. Family physicians can reduce the morbidity and mortality of pertussis and help to control outbreaks through primary vaccination, early diagnosis, antibiotic therapy and prophylaxis, and case reporting to public health authorities. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recently changed its recommendations to include use of acellular pertussis preparations in children as part of the primary vaccination series against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DPT). The revised recommendations are included in this review of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, laboratory diagnosis, therapy and outbreak control strategies for pertussis.

Extractions: by American Academy of Pediatrics Advertisement Pertussis (whooping cough) is a very contagious and dangerous infection of the respiratory tract caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Whooping cough gets its name from the whooping sound the child makes when trying to draw breath after a coughing spell. Not all children with whooping cough make this sound; very young children may not be strong enough. Symptoms generally include those of a cold, such as runny nose and a cough that gradually worsens. Violent coughing spells frequently end with vomiting. Once the whooping stage begins, antibiotics are of no use. Pertussis is spread from person to person through the air. A person who is not immune to pertussis becomes infected by inhaling air that has been contaminated with the respiratory secretions of an infected person who has coughed. Before vaccines and antibiotics were developed, pertussis was a common cause of death in young children. Today, it is vaccine preventable. Children in the United States are now immunized with the pertussis vaccine beginning at 2 months of age and again at 4 months, 6 months, 15 months, and 4 to 6 years. All children attending a child care facility should be up to date on vaccinations.

Extractions: You are here: DOH Home Topics A-Z » Pertussis Search Employees Pertussis What is pertussis? Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease involving the respiratory tract. It is caused by a bacterium that is found in the mouth, nose and throat of an infected person. Approximately 100 to 500 cases are typically reported annually in Washington. The 826 cases in 1996 gave the highest incidence recently. Pertussis can occur at any age. Severe illness is more common in young children who have not been immunized. Older immunized children or adults with pertussis have milder symptoms. The diagnosis of pertussis should be considered for older children or adults with persistent coughs to ensure they do not pass the infection on to young children. Pertussis is primarily spread when infected people cough or sneeze, expelling droplets that contain Bordetella pertussis bacteria. Older siblings or adults who may be harboring the bacteria in their nose and throat can infect an infant. What are the symptoms of pertussis?

Extractions: (Whooping Cough) Pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough, is a very contagious disease. Pertussis is caused by a germ that lives in the mouth, nose, and throat. It is spread to others through coughing or sneezing. Pertussis causes violent spells of coughing which can make it hard for a child to eat, drink, or even breathe. The disease is hardest on infants under 1 year old, and half of the cases reported in the United States occur in that age group. More than half of these infants must be hospitalized. Doctors report about 3,500 cases of pertussis each year in the United States. Pertussis can have serious complications. About 1 child in 10 with pertussis also gets pneumonia. About 20 in every 1,000 will have convulsions and in 4 out of every 1,000 the brain will be affected (this is called encephalopathy). Pertussis causes about 9 deaths a year. Pertussis vaccine is usually given together with diphtheria and tetanus vaccines in a shot called DTaP. You can read about DTaP vaccine here.

Vaccines Home Pertussis vaccine Summary and conclusions Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. Worldwide B. pertussis, have proved to be efficacious, although more expensive, and to compare favourably with wP vaccines in terms of common adverse effects. They are now licensed in several countries. At their most effective, aP and wP vaccines share similar efficacies. Both wP and aP are usually administered in combination with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (DTwP or DTaP). For more than four decades, use of wP of documented quality in infant immunization programmes has been highly effective in preventing pertussis all over the world. wP vaccines are considerably less costly than the aP vaccines. Therefore, in most countries, wP vaccines remain the appropriate choice for public health immunization programmes. While in terms of severe adverse effects aP and wP vaccines appear to have the same high level of safety, mild to moderate adverse reactions are less commonly associated with the aP vaccines.

Pertussis is caused by bacteria that attach themselves to the cilia (little hairs) that line the respiratory tract. These bacteria produce a potent toxin that inflames the respiratory tract and that prevents the cilia from functioning properly. The disease can be serious or fatal in infants and unimmunized children. It is much milder in teens, adults, and in immunized children - but still can be a real nuisance. It can be far worse in people with
