It is caused by bacteria called Bordetella pertussis that is found in the mouth, nose, and throat of an infected person.

Extractions: Feedback About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Whooping Cough. The term 'prevalence' of Whooping Cough usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Whooping Cough at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Whooping Cough refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Whooping Cough diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.

Extractions: Pertussis (whooping cough) is a respiratory tract infection caused by the bacterium, Bordetella pertussis . Before the advent of the pertussis vaccine, pertussis was a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Approximately 15 people with pertussis are reported each year in Nebraska. Undoubtedly though, it is under reported as many infections in older children and adults are not recognized. How is pertussis spread? Classic pertussis infections have three distinct phases of illness. The first stage, the catarrhal stage, is characterized by sinus congestion, runny nose, slight sore throat, and low grade or absent fever. This stage lasts one to two weeks. The cough progressively becomes more severe. The coughs may become more severe in a series so close together that the person cannot take a breath between coughs. Following the coughing spells, there are gasps for air which may sound like a whoop. Vomiting may follow the coughing spells. The violent coughing marks the beginning of the second stage, the

The vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. [1] Erythromycin A bacteriostatic antibiotic substance produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits.

Extractions: Diagnosis Pertussis Pertussis is an infection of the breathing tract that is caused by a bacteria (Bordetella pertussis). 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!

Booster shots are needed for four-year-olds and teenagers, and for adults living or working with small children. Treatment helps control spread.

Coughing then develops, usually in bouts, followed by a deep gasp (or "whoop"). Sometimes people vomit after coughing. Pertussis can be very serious in small children. They might go blue or stop breathing during coughing attacks and may need to go to hospital. Older children and adults may have a less serious illness, with bouts of coughing that continue for many weeks, regardless of treatment. How is it spread?

Extractions: 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. How is pertussis spread?

General Information Additional resources and links In 2005, The Wisconsin Division of Public Health convened an expert panel of public health officials and clinicians working in a variety of settings to discuss and help determine the future course of pertussis surveillance and control efforts in Wisconsin. Modification of existing protocols, outcome measures, and practical interventions were some of the items discussed by the panel. Below you will find a list of the panel of experts, additional resources, as well as updated testing, treatment, isolation and reporting protocols developed by the Wisconsin Immunization Program as advised by the pertussis expert panel.

Extractions: Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease that affects more than 50 million people worldwide and causes an estimated 350,000 deaths each year, primarily among infants. Before pertussis vaccines were available, more than 200,000 cases of the disease were reported annually in the United States. The search for a pertussis vaccine began in 1906, when two French bacteriologists isolated Bordetella pertussis , the bacterium that causes infection. In the 1940s, experimental vaccines using whole-cell B. pertussis were successful in mimicking infection and producing a protective immune response in humans. The first whole-cell pertussis vaccine was licensed for use in the United States in 1948. Subsequent widespread use of the vaccine contributed to a dramatic decline in the U.S. incidence of the disease, which reached an all-time low of approximately 1,010 cases in 1976. Although the whole-cell vaccine was extremely effective in controlling pertussis, it was associated with side effects ranging from fever and inflammation at the injection site to rare but more serious events such as seizures. Concerns about these side effects discouraged some parents from having their children immunized against pertussis. As a result, by the early 1980s the number of pertussis cases was increasing in the United States.

Extractions: Information on Pertussis Pertussis, more commonly known as whooping cough, is caused by a bacterium, 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. Symptoms usually appear five to 10 days after exposure, but can take as long as 21 days. The first symptoms are similar to those of a common cold: a runny nose, sneezing, low-grade fever and a mild, occasional cough. The cough gradually becomes severe and, after one to two weeks, the patient has spasmodic bursts of numerous, rapid coughs. The characteristic high-pitched "whoop" comes from breathing in after a coughing episode. During such an attack, the patient may turn blue, vomit and become exhausted. Between coughing attacks, the patient usually appears normal. Coughing attacks occur more frequently at night. The attacks increase in frequency for a couple of weeks, then remain at the same level for two to three weeks, and then gradually decrease. Coughing may last as long as 10 weeks. Recovery is gradual, and coughing episodes can recur with subsequent respiratory infections for months after the onset of pertussis.

Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a bacterial respiratory illness and can infect persons of all ages. Pertussis is most serious in infants and young children. It is highly communicable, and can last for many weeks. Children with pertussis often have paroxysmal spasms of severe coughing, whooping, and posttussive vomiting. Vaccinations against pertussis are given to infants and are available to children under age 7 years. A new vaccine for adolescents ages 10 to 18 years was licensed in May, 2005, and will be available publicly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issues recommendations for its usage. Arizona is experiencing a significant increase in pertussis cases in 2005. A statewide outbreak was declared on May 19, 2005. Additional resources are listed below.
