Very few European countries currently include pertussis boosters for adults in the national immunisation strategy. In addition to increasing pertussis vaccination coverage in adolescents and adults, mitigation strategies in European countries should include improved diagnosis and treatment in these populations. ...
S1). Treatment allocation was performed at the investigators’ site using an internet-based randomization system, with a minimization algorithm accounting for center and age stratum (11–17 and 18–25 years). The study was partially-blind as the Co-ad group had only 1 vaccination visit. The...
Further more, the treatment of pertussis also emphasized the early administration of medications, which helped to lessen pertussis disease severity and duration, as well as improved the quality of life of patients33,34, but these settings relied on reliable identification of the early course of the...
[37] and Australia [36]. These Prn-negative isolates were fully virulent. In a mouse model, several studies showed that antigenic divergence observed between vaccine strains and resurgent strains reduces the vaccine efficacy [39,106]. As strains deficient in the expression of Prn have been ...
PICOS (Patient Population or Problem, Intervention [treatment/test], Comparison [group or treatment], Outcomes, and Setting) criteria [33] were applied while considering interventional and observational studies in humans. Pregnant women and their offspring constituted the studied population. The interventi...
This trend is compounded by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has altered healthcare-seeking behaviors and potentially hindered timely diagnosis and treatment of pertussis [16]. Given these dynamics, there is an urgent need for public health initiatives to enhance vaccination strategies, ...
Infants aged ≤ 4 months are the most vulnerable pertussis patients that require hospitalization treatment. Our results highlight the urgency of large-scale active surveillance of pertussis in China. Keywords: pertussis; active surveillance; incidence; hospitalization rate; China...
