    Extractions: The first reported epidemic of pertussis was in Paris in 1578. The Disease If you've ever seen a child with pertussis you, won't forget it. The child coughs violently and rapidly, over and over, until the air is gone from her lungs and she is forced to inhale with the loud "whooping" sound that gives the disease its nickname, Whooping Cough. Then the coughing begins again. These severe coughing spells can go on for weeks. The child might turn blue from lack of air, or vomit after a coughing spell. A child with Whooping Cough can have difficulty eating, drinking, or even breathing. (more about the symptoms and way its spread) The Immunization The first pertussis vaccine was developed in the 1930's, and became widely used by the 1940's. In the early 1990's a new "acellular" pertussis vaccine was licensed, which works as well as the older vaccine but has fewer side effects.

    Extractions: Acellular pertussis- Dr. K. Gaublomme The International Vaccination Newsletter March 1998 EFFICACY It is hard to prove the efficacy of a vaccine if no agreement exists upon something as basic as a definition of the disease, and if no one knows what is a protective antibody level. Yet, these problems do exist. A 1996 article highlighted upon exactly these issues. "No serologic correlates of immunity have been identified", the authors state (12). In 1984, the Japanese published the results of a trial with an acellular vaccine with two haemagglutinins on 5000 children (1). Mark Kane, MD, of the World Health Organisation, said in August 1996 that the new vaccine had no significant advantage in efficacy over the old vaccine (3). A study in Senegal (7) even revealed inferior results compared to the whole-cell vaccine. "Beginning 28 days after the third vaccine dose, the overall ratio of pertussis incidence in the DTaP group relative to the DTwP group (RRac/wc) was 1.54(95% Cl’ 1.23-1.93)" (7).

    Extractions: What is pertussis? Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious bacterial illness that causes a cough lasting several weeks. In 1995, 36 confirmed cases were reported among New York City residents, a case rate of .5 per 100,000 people. Who gets pertussis? Pertussis is usually a disease of children although it can occur at any age. Most reported cases occur in children under 5 years old. In 1995, 58% of New York City's confirmed cases were 6 months of age or younger. How is pertussis spread? Pertussis is primarily spread by direct contact with the mucus or saliva of an infected person, or it can be spread by airborne droplets. What are the symptoms of pertussis? Early symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing, fever, and cough - symptoms similar to a common cold. About 1-2 weeks later, the cough worsens and patients develop bursts or rapid coughing followed by a high-pitched "whoop". These coughing fits usually last from 1-6 weeks. Pertussis can cause serious illness, especially in young infants. How soon after infection do symptoms appear?

Contact Us About... Pertussis (Whooping cough) What is pertussis? Pertussis, also called whooping cough , is a contagious illness caused by bacteria. It occurs in children more often than in adults. But, adults with milder, undiagnosed symptoms can transmit the disease to infants and children. What are the symptoms of pertussis? Pertussis can be divided into 3 stages: During the first stage, symptoms are similar to having a cold. There may be a slight fever, sneezing, runny nose, dry cough, loss of appetite, and irritability. During the second stage (about 1 to 2 weeks later), the cough becomes more intense. There may be short, intense coughing spells followed by a long gasp for air (this is when the "whoop" is heard). The face may turn blue, nose may bleed, and vomiting may occur following a coughing spell.

    Extractions: Whooping cough (pertussis) www.Studenthealth.co.uk This is caused by the bacterium (germ) Bordetella pertussis. The incubation period is 7-14 days. It is highly infectious and spreads from person to person via droplets from the nose and mouth. It starts with what seems like a slight cold, with a runny nose and cough which is mild at first. It progresses to bouts of coughing that end in vomiting and which are worse at night or after feeding. The characteristic ‘whoop’ is not always present. The illness can be difficult to diagnose, particularly in its milder forms. Antibiotics do not help very much with the symptoms but can help to prevent spread of infection. The cough can persist for weeks. If suspected, the child should be given an antibiotic and kept off school for 5 days while taking the medication. Most recover completely but complications include The coughing bouts may cause tiny spots of bruising on the cheeks and the surface of the eye. Brain damage.

    Extractions: Shortages of pertussis vaccine may be alleviated when Aventis Pasteur's newly approved DAPTACEL begins shipping in late June. The combination product contains diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine adsorbed (DTaP), and has been approved by FDA for the first four of the five cycled vaccine doses recommended for childhood immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. DAPTACEL is thimerosal-free and was shown to be 84.9% effective in preventing pertussis disease in a test involving 10,000 children. In a press release announcing DAPTACEL's approval, Aventis Pasteur said it expects the new product will help alleviate recent DTaP shortages caused by the withdrawal of two vaccine manufacturers from the U.S. market. It also assured health care providers that its older DTaP product, Tripedia, will continue to be available. More information on DAPTACEL is coming soon on www.us.aventispasteur.com. Product labeling for Tripedia can be viewed at www.vaccineshoppe.com/US_PDF/298-10_4043_4058.pdf.

    http://www.vdh.state.va.us/epi/pertf.htm
    
    Extractions: What is pertussis (whooping cough)? Pertussis is a respiratory disease caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis . The disease can be very serious in infants (less than 1 year old) where it can lead to pneumonia and, less often, seizures or inflammation of the brain. In rare cases (1 out of 200), pertussis can result in death (especially in children less than 1 year of age). Who gets pertussis? Pertussis affects people all over the world and can occur at any age. It is most commonly found in young children but can also occur in older children and adults, where it usually causes a milder illness that is often not diagnosed. Young children can get the disease from an older brother or sister or an adult with the mild form of the disease. How is pertussis spread? The bacteria that causes pertussis is found in the nasopharyngeal region of the nose in infected people. The bacteria are spread through the air in droplets produced during sneezing and/or coughing. Persons in the early stage of illness are the most contagious. Antibiotics will shorten the length of time the illness can be spread. Children with pertussis who are in day care should be kept out of day care until they have been treated with antibiotics for at least 5 days or longer and are medically well enough to return.

    Extractions: Diphtheria. Diphtheria is caused by a bacterium, Corynebacterium diphtheriae , which can occur as either a toxic or nontoxic strain. When only the skin is involved, it is known as cutaneous diphtheria, and is likely to be a nontoxic strain. When the toxic strain affects the mucus linings in the body, such as the throat, diphtheria becomes life threatening. In the first quarter of the twentieth century diphtheria infected 200,000 people every year and killed between 5% and 10% of them, mostly the very young and very old. Because of immunizations, only one case was reported in 1999. Tetanus. Tetanus is a disease marked by severe muscular contractions and convulsions brought on by a powerful toxin secreted by the bacterium, Clostridium tetani. The bacterium is anaerobic; that is, it lives without oxygen. People become infected by this dangerous bacterium through wounds in the skin. Only 513 American cases were reported between 1982 and 1989, nearly all of them in adults. It is fatal in 20% to 40% of cases.

    Extractions: (Whooping Cough) What is Pertussis? Pertussis, commonly called whooping cough, is a serious contagious disease, which often requires hospitalization. It is caused by a bacterium. It most often attacks the upper respiratory tract after entering the nose or throat. Pertussis can lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and sometimes death. Who gets Pertussis? Persons of any age can get pertussis, however, young infants are at greatest danger of getting the disease and suffer the most serious complications. In the past, most cases occurred in children less than 5 years of age. Recently, more cases are also being reported among adolescents and adults. Pertussis most often affects persons without any pertussis vaccination, those persons with incomplete vaccinations, and those older persons who were previously immunized as children. How is Pertussis spread? Transmission occurs from person to person when germs pass from an infected person into the nose or throat of others. Pertussis can be transmitted by direct contact or through the air. Pertussis is highly infectious and can infect up to 70-100 percent of close household contacts who are unimmunized.
