Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Pertussis, or whooping cough, is an upper respiratory infection caused by the Bordetella pertussis or B. parapertussis bacteria. It is a serious disease that can cause permanent disability in infants, and even death. When an infected person sneezes or coughs, tiny droplets containing the bacteria move through the air, and the disease is easily spread from person to person. Initial symptoms, similiar to the common cold , usually develop about a week after exposure to the bacteria. Severe episodes of coughing start about 10 to 12 days later. In children, the coughing often ends with a "whoop" noise. The sound is produced when the patient tries to take a breathe. The whoop is rare in patients under 6 months of age and in adults. Coughing spells may lead to vomiting. Pertussis should always be considered when vomiting occurs with coughing. In infants, choking spells are common.

   Extractions: What is pertussis? Pertussis is a very contagious disease of the mucous membranes that line the air passages. It is also called whooping cough. What is the infectious agent that causes pertussis? Pertussis is caused by Bordetella pertussis , a bacterium. Where is pertussis found? Pertussis occurs worldwide. Pertussis bacteria live in the mouth, nose, and throat of an infected person. How do people get pertussis? Pertussis spreads easily from person to person. People get pertussis by breathing in droplets expelled from the nose or throat of an infected person during coughing or sneezing. It is also spread by direct contact with discharges from the nose or throat of an infected person. What are the signs and symptoms of pertussis?

10. Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
    pertussis is characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a whooping sound when the person breathes in.  
    http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/lung/whooping_cough.html
    
    Extractions: Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is an infection of the respiratory system caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis (or B. pertussis ). It's characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a "whooping" sound when the person breathes in. Before a vaccine was available, pertussis killed 5,000 to 10,000 people in the United States each year. Now, the pertussis vaccine has reduced the annual number of deaths to less than 30. Although pertussis can occur at any age, it's most severe in unimmunized children and in infants under 1 year of age (early immunization can usually prevent this serious disease in babies). About 40% of all pertussis infections occur in children less than 1 year old, and only 15% occur in children over 15 years old. Half of all deaths from pertussis occur in infants under age 1, and serious complications are more common in this group. The incidence of pertussis among adolescents and adults has been increasing in the last several years. This is an important fact, because coughing adolescents and adults who may not realize that they have pertussis are currently the major source of infection for infants and children. Signs and Symptoms The first symptoms of pertussis are similar to those of a common cold After about 1 to 2 weeks, the dry, irritating cough evolves into coughing spells. During a coughing spell, which can last for more than a minute, the child may turn red or purple. At the end of a spell, the child may make a characteristic whooping sound when breathing in or may vomit. Between spells, the child usually feels well.

    http://www.kidsource.com/kidsource/content/news/infant_vaccine8_1_96.html
    
    Extractions: WASHINGTON, July 31, 1996 The Food and Drug Administration today announced it has licensed the first acellular pertussis vaccine for use in infants and children two months of age and older for the primary series of immunizations. The vaccine protects infants against whooping cough while causing fewer side-effects than whole-cell pertussis vaccines now on the market. Currently, U.S. children receive a whole-cell pertussis vaccine in combination with diphtheria-tetanus toxoid, commonly called DTP, at 2, 4 and 6 months of age, with additional doses of either a DTP or DT vaccine with an acellular pertussis component (DTaP) at 12-18 months and before going to school. The vaccine approved today for infants is one of two DTaP vaccines already approved for children to be given as fourth and fifth doses following three DTP doses. This approval should give parents more confidence in the safety of the pertussis vaccine their infants will receive.

As a result there have been outbreaks of the infectious diseases immunisation is designed to combat. Earlier this year there was a significant outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) with at least three children dying from this preventable disease. Quantum two part series aired on September 26 and October 3, 1996. Perhaps the answer lies in the distinction between scientific evidence and individual opinion. There will be a number of different opinions, or beliefs, about immunisation but, as the Australian Skeptics have so often observed, believing something to be so does not necessarily make it so.
