Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Fact Sheet
pertussis (Whooping Cough). What is pertussis? pertussis is a contagious bacterial disease that affects the respiratory tract. Who gets pertussis?
http://www.dhfs.state.wi.us/healthtips/BCD/pertussis.htm

Extractions: In infants and young children, the disease begins much like a cold with a runny nose, possible low grade fever and a mild but irritating cough for 1-2 weeks. The illness progresses to spells of explosive coughing that can interrupt breathing, eating and sleeping and is commonly followed by vomiting and exhaustion. Following the cough, the patients may make a loud crowing or "whooping" sound as they struggle to inhale air (hence the common name "whooping cough"). The severe coughing spells can last for several weeks to two months or longer. In older children, adolescents and adults the symptoms are usually milder and without the typical whoop. What are the complications associated with pertussis?

Extractions: Vaccine Preventable Diseases Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by Bordetella pertussis B. pertussis produces long-term immunity from the disease but may not prevent further infection. Infection rates in immunized persons may be high, but clinical illness is infrequent and mild when it occurs. Pertussis incidence in Canada peaked at 182 cases per 100,000 population in 1934, which was prior to the introduction of the whole-cell vaccine that was among the first to be introduced in Canada in 1943. Significant reductions in incidence and mortality have been achieved since the introduction of routine vaccination. Overall, the average annual incidence has decreased by approximately 90%, from 157 cases per 100,000 population (17,463 cases) in the immediate pre-vaccine era to 17 cases per 100,000 (4,900 cases) for 1986 through 1995. The reporting of pertussis in Canada is believed to be highly underestimated; rates based on passive reporting were underestimated by as much as 14-fold in one study. The whole-cell vaccine currently used in Canada may be another contributing factor to continuing pertussis epidemics. A number of studies have shown that it has only low to moderate effectiveness in preventing clinical illness. The vaccine is still believed to be highly effective in reducing the frequency and severity of complications. Newer, safer, and possibly more efficacious acellular vaccines are currently licensed in Canada for the fourth and fifth booster doses. These vaccines are likely to become more acceptable to parents and health-care providers when they are licensed for the primary series; coverage levels will be higher and the disease will be better controlled.

Pertussis is whooping cough's medical name. It is the "P" in the DPT vaccine for children. Pertussis commonly affects infants and young children, but can be prevented with immunization with the vaccine. Immunity from DPT wears off, so many teen-agers and adults get pertussis, first as coughing spasms and then a stubborn dry cough lasting up to 6-8 weeks. Treatment of pertussis is supportive and many young infants need hospitalization if the coughing becomes severe. Immunization with DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus) vaccine provides protection. With pertussis, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure (or, if you are metrically inclined, a gram of prevention is worth a kilo of cure). Have your child immunized!

Extractions: Channels Home Today Women Men ... Drug Checker Advertisement Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Definition: Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial disease which affects the respiratory system and produces spasms of coughing that usually end in a high-pitched sounding deep inspiration (the "whoop"). Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is caused by infection with the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. The infection is spread through the air by respiratory droplets from an infected person. The incubation period is usually 7 days. Whooping cough can affect people of any age. Prior to the advent of widespread immunization, the disease occurred mostly in infants and young children. Now that the majority of children are immunized before school age, a higher percentage of cases are seen among adolescents and adults. About 38% of recognized cases still occur in infants younger than 6 months of age, however. Early immunization (see childhood immunization schedule) can usually prevent the occurrence of this serious disease, which can sometimes be fatal or lead to permanent disability when it affects babies.

Extractions: Health File #15c, December 2003 Pertussis Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a very contagious (easy to catch) disease of the lungs and throat. Pertussis starts like a common cold, with sneezing, runny nose, low-grade fever and a mild cough. Over the next week or two, the cough gets worse, leading to severe coughing spells that often end with a whoop (which is where the name whooping cough comes from). The cough can make a person gag or spit out mucous, and make it hard to take a breath. The cough can last up to a month or two, and is worse at night. Babies less than six months old, teenagers and adults often do not make the whooping sound. Therefore anyone who has a cough that lasts more than a week should see a doctor to make sure the cough is not pertussis. Who gets pertussis?

Extractions: Pertussis is a contagious respiratory disease caused by bacteria. Pertussis can cause very severe illness in younger children, but also causes illness in older children and adults. Children can get pneumonia and occasionally inflammation of the brain from pertussis. In rare cases (1 out of 200), pertussis can cause death (especially in children less than one year of age).

Extractions: *From the Massachusetts Department of Public Health What is pertussis? Pertussis, also called "whooping cough," is a very contagious disease caused by bacteria (germs). Pertussis is usually mild in older children and adults, but it often causes serious problems in very young children. What are the symptoms of pertussis? Pertussis symptoms have two stages. The first stage begins like a cold with a runny nose, sneezing, and cough. The cough lasts for a week or two then slowly gets worse. The second stage is marked by uncontrolled coughing spasms, vomiting after coughing, and sometimes a whooping noise that you can hear when the person breathes in. During severe coughing spem or spasms, a person may stop breathing or become blue in the face from lack of air. Between spasms, the person often appears to be well. This stage lasts for 4 to 6 weeks. Adults, teens, and vaccinated children often have milder symptoms that look like bronchitis. How is pertussis spread? The germs that cause pertussis live in the nose, mouth and throat and are sprayed into the air when an infected person sneezes, coughs or talks. Other people nearby can then breathe in the germs. Touching a tissue or sharing a cup used by someone with pertussis can also spread the disease. The first symptoms appear about 7 to IO days after a person is exposed. People with pertussis can spread the disease starting 2 weeks before until 3 weeks after the cough starts, or until they have finished 5 days ofthe 14-day antibiotic treatment.
