    Extractions: Communicable Disease (whooping cough) 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 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?

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?

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.

    Extractions: 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?

    Extractions: 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.
