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 300 cases are reported annually in New York State. Who gets pertussis? Pertussis can occur at any age. Although most of the reported cases occur in children under five years, the number of cases in adolescents and adults is increasing. How is pertussis spread? Pertussis is primarily spread by direct contact with discharges from the nose and throat of infected individuals. Frequently, older siblings who may be harboring the bacteria in their nose and throat can bring the disease home and infect an infant in the household. What are the symptoms of pertussis? Pertussis begins as a mild upper respiratory infection. Initially, symptoms resemble those of a common cold, including sneezing, runny nose, low-grade fever and a mild cough. Within two weeks, the cough becomes more severe and is characterized by episodes of numerous rapid coughs followed by a crowing or high pitched whoop. A thick, clear mucous may be discharged. These episodes may recur for one to two months, and are more frequent at night. Older people or partially immunized children generally have milder symptoms. How soon after infection do symptoms appear?

Further information How do people catch it? Whooping cough is caused by a bacterium called Bordetela pertussis . Anyone who contracts the disease is highly infectious from seven days after exposure to the disease to three weeks after the beginning of the typical whooping cough. An individual with pertussis can be infectious for four to five weeks. A five day course of antibiotics, although stopping the risk of infection to other people, does nothing to shorten the length of the illness and the cough. Symptoms sneezing watery eyes throat irritation fever vomiting a cough which gradually develops into a typical whoop in older children. The whoop may not develop in young infants but the coughing spasms may be followed by periods of not breathing.

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 a growing public health threat in Texas. Fourteen pertussis deaths have been reported since 2000. Over 200 hospitalizations were reported in 2002. Outbreaks in families, child-care facilities, schools, and businesses are placing a heavy burden on the public health system in Texas. (CME/CNE) independent study activity called Controlling Pertussis in Texas. This activity focuses on four areas: disease trends in Texas, clinical diagnosis and treatment, confirming the diagnosis, and vaccines. This site allows physicians and nurses to receive CME/CNE credit (maximum of 2.5 credits) by taking a post-test, having it graded automatically, completing an evaluation, paying a $10 administrative fee, and getting a printable certificate of completion immediately after completing these tasks. A printable certificate of participation is available at no charge for those not needing CE credit.

PERTUSSIS What is pertussis? Pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough, is caused by a bacterium (germ), Bordatella pertussis , that lives in the mouth, nose and throat. The germ is highly contagious and is easily spread from person to person. In the early to mid-1900s, pertussis was one of the most common childhood diseases and a major cause of childhood mortality in the United States. How is pertussis spread? The bacteria are shed in discharges from the nose and throat and then spread to others through coughing and sneezing. An infected person is contagious from just before onset of symptoms until up to three weeks after symptoms start. Treatment with antibiotics shortens the contagious period to about five days. Who is susceptible to contracting pertussis? Anyone who has not had pertussis previously or who has not received the pertussis vaccine can get the disease. Half of the cases occur in children younger than 1 year of age. Older children and adults can carry the germ and spread it but have only mild symptoms. What are the symptoms of pertussis?

Todar's Online Textbook of Bacteriology Bordetella pertussis and Whooping Cough Bordetella pertussis Whooping cough pertussis ) is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis B. pertussis is a very small Gram-negative aerobic coccobacillus that appears singly or in pairs. Its metabolism is respiratory, never fermentative, and taxonomically, Bordetella is placed among the "Gram-negative Aerobic Rods and Cocci" in Bergey's Manual. Bordetella is not assigned to any family. The bacteria are nutritonally fastidious and are usually cultivated on rich media supplemented with blood. They can be grown in synthetic medium, however, which contains buffer, salts, an amino acid energy source, and growth factors such as nicotinamide (for which there is a strict requirement). Even on blood agar the organism grows slowly and requires 3-6 days to form pinpoint colonies. Bordetella pertussis colonizes the cilia of the mammalian respiratory epithelium (Figure 1). Generally, it is thought that B. pertussis does not invade the tissues, but some recent work has shown the bacterium in alveolar macrophages. The bacterium is a pathogen for humans and possibly for higher primates, and no other reservoir is known. Whooping cough is a relatively mild disease in adults but has a significant mortality rate in infants. Until immunization was introduced in the 1930s, whooping cough was one of the most frequent and severe diseases of infants in the United States.
