Pertussis Awareness and Prevention:
Objectives
• Increase awareness and prevention of pertussis
in the United States
• Educate health care professionals on
epidemiology and diagnosis of pertussis
• Discuss importance of pertussis immunization
• Discuss important strategies for improving
control of pertussis
PERTUSSIS (WHOOPING COUGH)
• Acute respiratory tract infection by Bordetella pertussis
• highly communicable
• 80% secondary attack rates among susceptible
persons
• Significant morbidity and mortality in infants
• Milder nonspecific upper respiratory tract infection in
adolescents and adults
• Difficult to diagnose
• Referred to by the Chinese as “the cough of 100 days”

Pertussis Disease Manifestations
• Incubation period -- 7 - 10 days
(range 4 - 21)
• Stages
• Catarrhal: runny nose,
sneezing, low-grade fever, mild
cough
• Paroxysmal: severe spasms of
cough, thick mucus, whoops,
vomiting, exhaustion
• Convalescent: gradual
recovery with less frequent &
less severe coughing

Why Is Pertussis Increasing?
• Ascertainment…awareness and better diagnostic tests
• Incomplete immunization of children
• Variable vaccine efficacy
• Waning immunity
• ~ 15 years after active disease
• ~ 5-10 years after vaccination
• Under diagnosis, especially in adolescents and adults
• Lack of an adolescent/adult booster vaccine

Consequences of Waning Immunity
• Increased transmission of pertussis disease to
unimmunized and underimmunized infants and
children1
• Considerable pertussis-related morbidity and
economic cost in families2
• Increased incidence of pertussis disease among
adolescents and adults1,3

In Infants
Severe vs Mild Pertussis

• More common in infants
• Occurs in nonimmune
individuals
• Paroxysmal cough (>21 days’
duration) with heavy inspiration
(whoops) accompanied by
vomiting and gagging
Mild
• Characteristic symptoms
(eg, whoop) often absent1
• An important mechanism of
transmission to infants
• Estimated to represent 21% to
26% of acute cough illness in
adults2,3
• Often unrecognized,
underdiagnosed

PERTUSSIS DEATHS BY AGE, UNITED STATES
(1980-1999)
Pertussis Complications By Age
Diagnostic Laboratory Findings In Pertussis
• Marked lymphocytosis with leukocyte counts often exceeding 50,000
cells/mm3
• Generally afebrile with no elevation of ESR or other acute phase reactions
• CXR with a “shaggy heart” produced by bilateral perihilar infiltrates, edema,
and atelectasis
• Culture of posterior NP swab may take 2 weeks, but negative cultures are
common especially after 4 weeks of illness
• Direct immunofluorescent assay of NP secretions had variable sensitivity
and low specificity
• Serologic tests to measure immunglobin antibody to pertusis toxin (IgG,
IgM, IgA).
• DNA by PCR of NP secretions is the most sensitive and rapid test but may
not always be available
*Most cases of Pertussis are diagnosed clinically!

TREAMENT OF PERTUSSIS
• Infants younger than 6 months generally require hospitalization
• Antibiotic Therapy:
• Erythromycin 40 to 50 mg/kg/day given QID x 14 days
• Azythromycin 10 to 12 mg/kg/day given Qday X 5 days
• Clarithromycin 15 to 20 mg/kg/day given BID X 7 days
• Bactrim or Septra 8 mg TMP/ 40 mg SMX per kg per day in two
divided doses for 14 days if allergic to macrolides
• *Treatment with antibiotics does not effect duration or severity of
clinical course
• Cough suppressants

Rationale for Vaccinating Adolescents
and Adults: Bordetella Pertussis Reservoirs
Adolescents and Adults Are Primary Sources for Infant Transmission
Health Care Providers
Most hospital outbreaks of
pertussis disease involve
transmission from health
care workers to pediatric
patients1
Adults/Parents
In Chicago, young
mothers with a cough
>7 days were shown to
be a significant source of
pertussis disease
transmission
to their young infants2

2. Izurieta et al. Clin Infect Dis. 1996;22:503-507.
3. Postels-Multani et al. Infection. 1995;23:139-142.
4. Crowcroft et al. Arch Dis Child. 2003;88:802-806.
Grandparents
In 15% of families, an
adult patient was
identified as the
source of infection for
other household
members. Fifteen
percent of these
adults were
grandparents or greatgrandparents of an
affected child3
Adolescents/Siblings
For 27% of infants
hospitalized with pertussis
disease in London
between 1998 and 2000,
an older, fully vaccinated
sibling was the source of
infection4
Advisory Committee On Immunization Practices (ACIP)
Recommendations For Tdap Vaccine In Adolescents
• Recommendations of the ACIP (CDC) for the use of
Tdap vaccines:
• Adolescents 11 to 12 years of age be given Tdap in
place of the Td booster currently being used
• Tdap vaccine should be given to adolescents 13 to 18
years who missed the 11 to 12 year dose of Td
• Adolescents 11 to 18 years of age who have already
been vaccinated with Td are encouraged to receive a
dose of Tdap to further protect against pertussis
• Adolescents can and should receive Tdap and the
meningococcal conjugate vaccine (menactra) at the
same visit
ACIP Recommendations for Tdap Vaccine Use in
Adults
• Adults who have not received a Td immunization during the
last 10 years should receive a single dose of Tdap Vaccine
• Those not previously given Tdap vaccine may be given Tdap
vaccine at shorter intervals (< 10 years) following last Td
immunizations in settings of wound management and
increased risk (including pertussis outbreaks and contact with
infants
• Adults who anticipate having close contact with infants (ie:
parents, healthcare workers and daycare workers) should
receive a single dose of Tdap vaccine to protect against
pertussis if they have not received Tdap vaccine. Ideally these
adults should receive Tdap vaccine at least one month before
beginning close contact with infants
Other ACIP Recommendations for Adult Tdap Use
• Women should receive Tdap vaccine immediately post
partum if not previously immunized
• Women are encouraged to receive Tdap vaccine before
conception
• Tdap vaccine is encouraged over Td vaccine in the
wound care setting for those who have not previously
received Tdap vaccine
• Pregnancy is not a contraindication to Tdap and may be
considered in the 2nd and 3rd trimester
ACIP Recommendations for Tdap
Use In Healthcare Workers
• There are 8-10 million workers employed in hospital
and ambulatory settings.
• The risk of contracting pertussis from healthcare
workers is nearly 2 times greater than the general
population.
• For each decade the immunization of healthcare
workers could prevent as many as 100, 000 cases of
pertussis and save up to $151 million in direct and
indirect costs.
• Therefore it is recommended that all healthcare
workers and anyone who works in a healthcare
setting receive Tdap.
Strategies to Control Pertussis…
• Improve immunization coverage
• Ensure immunization of all appropriate infants
• Prevent mild disease
• Improve surveillance and reporting
• Implement Tdap vaccines for adolescents and adults
• Eliminate reservoirs of infection in general
population
• Reduce transmission to vulnerable infants
SUMMARY
• Epidemiology of pertussis disease has changed with the spectrum
of illness shifting to a milder form in all age groups
• B. pertussis infections in the adolescent and adult populations are
common and endemic accounting for more of the disease seen
today
• Immunity after natural infection or vaccinations is not life long and
wanes rapidly after 5 – 8 years
• Pertussis acounts for up to 25% of acute cough illnesses in the
adolescent and adult populations
• The adolescent and adult populations serve as a major resevoir of
disease transmission to the young infant population
• Immunizing the infant population on time and implementing a
booster vaccine program in the adolescent and adult populations
will have the greatest impact on decreasing the amount of disease
seen
…a universal program of adolescent and adult boosters
would decrease the circulation of B pertussis… and
possibly could lead to the elimination of the organism…
