28 ABSTRACT: Introduction: Acute bronchiolitis, a lower respiratory tract disease of infancy, is caused primarily by viruses. The peak incidence of severe bronchiolitis occurs in neonates, infants and toddlers in the winter months. While Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for most cases of bronchiolitis, coinfection with Bordetella pertussis is known to occur. For example, a recent study (Miron et al) found 6.2% of cases of infants <2 years admitted with bronchiolitis to hospitals in northern Israel to be co-infected. However, to date, little is known about the clinical presentation of this co-infection and more specifically, how Bordetella pertussis may affect the course of the disease. Goals: 1. To assess how Bp may affect the course of the disease: clinical presentation, severity and prognosis. 2. To identify risk factors associated with bronchiolitis-bp co-infection. 3. To review the utility of PCR testing of those infected with bronchiolitis. Subjects and Methods: 475 infants under the age of two years with an admission diagnosis of bronchiolitis were evaluated prospectively. The study was conducted between November 2005 and March 2006 at three hospitals in Northern Israel: Bnai Zion Medical Center, Rambam Medical Center in Haifa and Ha Emek Hospital in Afula. Demographic and epidemiological data were recorded and data were collected on patients' clinical presentation and hospital course. Subjects were categorized as either pertussis-positive bronchiolitis or pertussis-negative bronchiolitis.. 28

29 Results: RSV was found in 346 (72.8%) cases. Bp was identified in 29 (6.1%) cases, with 18 of these cases (i.e., 62% of all Bp cases) involving co-infection with RSV. In only 2 cases was Bp the sole pathogen detected. There were no epidemiological or demographic differences between the Bp+ and Bpbronchialitis patients. However, among infants <6 months, 2 doses of Bp vaccination were significantly more likely to be pertussis-positive than those with 3 doses of vaccination (14.6% versus 3.3%; p<0.06). There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to the clinical course of the disease during hospitalization, treatment modality, the amount of time patients required supplemental oxygen, or rate of transfer to a Pediatric intensive care unit. Conclusions: Among children infected with bronchiolitis, no evidence was found to suggest that Bp is associated with the epidemiological characteristics, clinical course of the disease or its prognosis. These findings lead us to believe that there may be little benefit to the Bp-positive patient by identifying such patients as Bp positive. Nevertheless, there may be significant infection control ramifications associated with not identifying and treating such individuals. Additionally, the findings suggest the utility of multiple vaccinations against Bp, with infants <6 months of age who received 3 doses of vaccination having a significantly lower prevalence rate of pertussis relative to those who received 2 doses. While these findings suggest that 3 doses provide a higher level of protection than 1 or no doses, limited cell sizes made it impossible for us to do so. Accordingly, future research should replicate our analysis using a larger sample of Bp+ patients with greater variance in vaccination coverage. 29
