Factsheets Pertussis (whooping cough) is a serious, sometimes fatal, respiratory infection caused by the bacterium, Bordetella pertussis. This fact sheet covers: the disease and its agent; spread of infection; prevention; surveillance and reporting. The disease and its agent Pertussis (whooping cough) is a serious, sometimes fatal, respiratory infection caused by the bacterium, Bordetella pertussis . World-wide pertussis is responsible for about 250,000 deaths in children annually. In most cases the disease usually begins with cold-like symptoms, which progresses to a paroxysmal cough with a inspiratory whoop. Babies under 12 months of age often require admission to hospital. Complications include convulsions, pneumonia, coma, inflammation of the brain, and permanent brain damage. Around one in every 200 children under six months of age who contracts pertussis will die. The most common cause of death is from pertussis pneumonia. Spread of infection Pertussis is a highly infectious disease, typically transferred to 70-100 per cent of susceptible household contacts. Infection is spread by direct contact with droplets from the nose and throat of an infected person. The incubation period is commonly 7-10 days and not more that 21 days. A case is infectious from 7 days after exposure to 3 weeks after the onset of typical paroxysms. Children should be excluded from child care until well and until five days after starting antibiotic treatment.

Caused by a bacterium, it is characterized by paroxysms (intense fits or spells) of coughing that end with the characteristic whoop as air is inhaled. Whooping cough caused thousands of deaths in the 1930s and 1940s, but, with the advent of the pertussis vaccine, the rate of death has declined dramatically. Recent epidemics have occurred in areas where vaccine rates have fallen. What causes whooping cough?

Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease that can infect the body in two areas: The diphtheria bacterium can enter the body through the nose and mouth. However, it can also enter through a break in the skin. It is transmitted from person-to-person by respiratory secretions or droplets in the air. After being exposed to the bacteria, it usually takes two to four days for symptoms to develop. It can lead to breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, and even death.

Extractions: Fact Sheet on Pertussis CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION SCHEDULE Contents: Commonly known as whooping cough, pertussis is an acute disease of the respiratory system (lungs). It is caused by a bacterium. People can get pertussis at any age and at any time of year. It is very contagious and symptoms range from mild to severe. Serious complications are most common among children under one year old, including pneumonia, encephalopathy (brain inflammation), and in rare cases, death. RETURN TO CONTENTS Pertussis often begins gradually with cold-like symptoms and an irritating cough. Severe coughing spells develop, followed by whoops which can lead to the ill person turning blue or having trouble catching his or her breath, and sometimes vomiting after coughing.

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.

Extractions: Whooping Cough Whooping cough (Pertussis) is an old time childhood disease which still plagues us sporadically throughout most of the United States. Here in north Idaho, pertussis is considered endemic (ever present) although it does cycle with some years being more difficult than others. See Graph. What is Pertussis? Pertussis is a respiratory illness. In its early stage it can easily be mistaken for a cold with a runny nose, sneezing and a mild occasional cough. The coughing progresses to become violent coughing spells. Sometimes a person has difficulty catching their breath during one of these attacks. Their lips may turn blue. The infected person can cough so hard blood vessels in the eye may break. Often the deep barking cough causes the person to vomit. Spells increase in frequency for 1-2 weeks and can last as long as 6-10 weeks. In between attacks the person may look and feel normal. There may be a low fever but sometimes there is no fever at all. How is Pertussis spread? Pertussis is spread by respiratory droplets which are most commonly present in the sneeze or cough of a person infected with bordetella pertussis.

Extractions: (cPDT Polio) Vaccine Vaccines (or needles or baby shots) are the best way to protect against some very serious infections. The Canadian Paediatric Society and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization strongly recommend routine immunization. cPDT Polio is a four-in-one needle. "cP" stands for "component pertussis" which is also known as "acellular pertussis" or "aP". Therefore, sometimes this combination vaccine is referred to as "DTaP Polio". It protects children against pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus and polio. It is recommended for use in infants and children younger than seven years. Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and polio is required by law for all children attending school in Ontario (unless exempted). What is pertussis? Pertussis or whooping cough is a serious disease especially in children. Children who get this disease have spells of violent coughing. This cough can cause them to vomit or stop breathing for a short period of time. The cough can last for weeks and make it hard for a child to eat, drink or even breathe. Pertussis can cause serious complications. Pneumonia can occur in more than two out of 10 children with pertussis. Pertussis can also cause brain damage, seizures and death. These problems happen most often in babies. Pertussis spreads very easily from an infected person to others through coughing or sneezing.
