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?

    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.

It is caused by a bacterium that is found in the mouth, nose and throat of an infected person. In New York State, the number of pertussis cases each year varies from an average of 300 cases to over 1,000 cases per year. The reasons for these increases are not entirely clear, but three- to five-year cycles of increased number of cases are known to occur. 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. 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.

    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?
