2 Pertussis A great imitator in early stages How do you diagnose pertussis? What are the complications of it? How can we prevent it? Pertussis: Bordetella Pertussis Highly Contagious Respiratory Infection Respiratory Tract Lumen Normal Ciliary Movement Ciliary Stasis Ciliated Respiratory Epithelial Cells Pertussis Toxin B. Pertussis Bacterium Filamentous Hemagglutinin 7 Catarrhal: Mild cough Runny nose Mild fever Apnea in infants Catarrhal Pertussis: Clinical Phases Typical Course of Pertussis* Paroxysmal Cough Cough Paroxysmal Cough Whooping Vomiting Cyanosis Apnea Paroxysmal Cough 1 6 weeks accessed October 05, 2013 Convalescent: Cough less paroxysmal disappears in weeks *The illness can be milder and the typical "whoop" absent in children, teens, and adults who have been vaccinated with a pertussis vaccine. Convalescence Pertussis: Contagious* Period Pertussis is most contagious during the first 2 weeks when symptoms resemble those of a common cold. Contagiousness declines rapidly after that, t but may last up to three weeks. Patients are no longer infectious after 5 days of treatment with appropriate antibiotics. *Older persons often source of infection for children. most contagious aspc.gc.ca/id mi/pertussis coqueluche eng.php 2013 October 02 Pertussis:Diagnosis The diagnosis of pertussis is based on a characteristic clinical history: cough for more than 2 weeks with whoop, paroxysms, or post tussive vomiting And a variety it of lb laboratory tests: t culture polymerase chain reaction [PCR] direct fluorescent antibody [DFA] serology. Paroxysmal Cough > 2 weeks Pertussis: Nasopharyngeal Swab* posterior nasopharynx not the throat Dacron or calcium alginate plated directly on selective media. not cotton *Isolation rates are highest during the first 3 to 4 weeks of illness (catarrhal and early paroxysmal stages). isolation rates are highest 2

Vaccination: Children < 6 years need 5 doses of the Pertussis vaccine, starting at age 2 months An additional booster dose, combined with tetanus and diphtheria (Tdap) vaccine, is given routinely to adolescents between 14 to 16 years of age across Canada. Adults not previously immunized against pertussis receive 1dose of the Tdap vaccine B. Clinical Assessment: anyone with a cough that lasts longer than a week should see your health care provider. C.

5 Healthcare Personnel & Child Care Workers All health care and child care workers, regardless of age, should receive: a single dose of Tdap vaccine if not previously received in adulthood, even if not due for a Td booster. Pertussis Immunization Contraindications: anaphylaxis Pertussis containing vaccines are contraindicated in persons with a history of anaphylaxis after previous administration of the vaccine and in persons with proven immediate or anaphylactic hl hypersensitivity i i to any component* of the vaccine or its container *ADACEL POLIO: neomycin, polymyxin B, streptomycin BOOSTRIX : latex in plunger stopper of pre filled syringe BOOSTRIX POLIO: latex in plunger stopper of pre filled syringe, neomycin, polymyxin B INFANRIX hexa : latex in plunger stopper of pre filled syringe, neomycin, polymyxin B, yeast PEDIACEL : neomycin, polymyxin B, streptomycin QUADRACEL : neomycin, polymyxin B There are no currently known potential allergens in ADACEL vaccine. Hypersensitivity to yeast is very rare and a personal history of yeast allergy is not generally reliable. Pertussis Immunization Contraindications: Guillain Barre Syndrome* It is prudent to not administer further doses of tetanustoxoid containing vaccine to persons who develop Guillain Barre Syndrome* (GBS) within 6 weeks of receiving such vaccine. Those who develop GBS outside the 6 week interval may receive subsequent doses of tetanus toxoid containing vaccine. *If there is a history of both Campylobacter infection (which has been associated with GBS) and receipt of a tetanus and diphtheria toxoid containing vaccine within the 6 weeks before the onset of GBS, consultation with an infectious disease specialist is advised. Pertussis Immunization: Precautions severe acute illness Administration of pertussis containing vaccine should be postponed in persons with moderate or severe acute illness. Persons with minor acute illness (with or without fever) may be vaccinated. Pertussis Immunization: Common and local adverse events Redness, swelling and pain at the injection site are the most common adverse reactions to childhood pertussiscontaining combination vaccines. A nodule may be palpable at the injection site and persist for several weeks. Pertussis Immunization: Common and local adverse events Redness, swelling and pain at the injection site are the most common adverse reactions* to childhood pertussiscontaining combination vaccines. A nodule may be palpable at the injection site and persist for several weeks. The presence of a large injection site reaction to a previous dose is not a contraindication to continuing the recommended schedule. *swelling (greater than 5 cm) and erythema after the 4 th or 5 th doses of DTaP vaccines 15 % to 20% of vaccinees Extensive limb swelling (>10 cm in diameter) possibly involving the entire proximal limb may occur in 2% to 6% of children. 5
