WHOOPING COUGH (PERTUSSIS) '
Whooping cough is a common acute infection of childhood, highly contagious. It is caused by the Bordutellia Pertussis. The illness is characterized by a catarrhal period of nonspecific respiratory symptoms progressing to the stage of paroxysmal cough, accompanied by the typical inspiratory whoop and vomiting. It may be complicated by potentially serious involvement of the respiratory tract and the central nervous system.
Epidemiologic Factors. The disease may strike at any time of the year. Although no age is exempt from pertussis, most people have the disease in early life. Transmission is likely to occur by direct contact with an infected person (coughing, sneezing, talking). The disease is communicable from its very first days to four weeks afrer onset of typical paroxysms.
Clinical Manifestaions. The incubation period is about 7 days, seldom shorter — from 2 to 4 days, or longer — up to 21 days.
The clinical course of whooping cough is divided into 3 stages — catarrhal, paroxysmal and convalescent. The. catarrhal stage lasts for about 1 or 2 weeks. It begins with the symptoms of an upper respiratory infection or common cold. The child may appear listless and irritable. Sometimes the only manifestation is a dry hacking cough. After about a week the cough, instead of improving, gradually becomes more severe and it begins to occur in paroxysms. The paroxysmal stage lasts, as a rule, 4 to 6 weeks. The cough now comes in explosive bursts. A series of 5 to 10 short, rapid coughs are given on one expiration, followed by a. sudden inspiration, associated with a characteristic sound or whoop. During the attack the child's face becomes red or cyanotic, the eyes bulge, the tongue protrudes. Vomiting frequently follows the attack. In severe cases young unimmunized infants may stop breathing during an attack (apnea).The attacks occur more frequently at night and in a stuffy room than in one well aired or out of doors.
The convalescent stage is marked by cessation of whooping and vomiting. Little by little the number and severity of paroxysms decrease.
Diagnosis. The clinical diagnosis is made by the paroxysmal nature of the cough, the red or cyanotic appearance of the child during an attack and the associated vomiting. During the catarrhal stage it is usually impossible to differentiate pertussis on clinical grounds from the common cold, bronchitis or acute respiratory disease.At this time Bordutellia pertussis can be isolated from the nasopharynx. The white blood test may also help the diagnosis. High white blood counts with a predominance of lymphocytes are characteristic of whooping cough.
Treatment. There is no specific drug to stop the attacks. Modern cough suppressing remedies may be administered in severe cases.
Whooping cough can be effectively treated with antibiotics.. The sooner one of these antibiotics is used, the better the results. The course of antibiotics treatment averages 8—12 days. Rest in bed is indicated as long as fever is present. The room should be well aired. It is important to maintain proper nutrition. The diet must be adequate, rich in vitamins, especially vitamin С The patient should be separated from other people.
Complications. The commonest and usually the most severe complication is pneumonia. Stop of breathing during an attack is very dangerous in young children. Otitis media, atelectasis may often occur.
Immunity. As a rule, one attack of whooping cough is followed by life-long immunity. Second attacks of pertussis are rare.
Prophylaxis.- Children should be immunized at the age of 5-6 months with a pertussis - diphtheria vaccine.
