Two proteins secreted by Bordetella pertussis are known to mediate adherence of these bacteria to mammalian respiratory cilia. When either ciliated cells or other pathogenic bacteria were pretreated with these adhesins, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Staphylococcus aureus acquired the ability to adhere to cilia in vitro and in vivo. Such piracy of adhesins may contribute to superinfection in mucosal diseases such as whooping cough.

“…He investigated the clinical course and prognosis of hospitalized patients with pertussis from 1958 to 1967. 21 Since then, published data on prognosis of pertussis have been wanting around the world. In order to identify the risk factors of prognosis of pertussis-like coughing, we gathered information of all hospitalized children under 3 years old at Anhui Provincial Hospital, and conducted the research.…”

Objectives. To identify risk factors associated with the prognosis of pertussis-like coughing. Methods. A retrospective study on children hospitalized with pertussis-like coughing from 2018 to 2019. We collected all the case data from medical records including age, gender, vaccination, clinical symptoms, complication, pathogens, white blood cell (WBC) count, lymphocyte ratio, application of macrolide antibiotics, usage of sulfamethoxazole, and usage of inhaled glucocorticoids. Logistic regression was used in this study. Results. A total of 213 hospitalized children with pertussis-like coughing were included in this study. About 70 children were cured within 2 weeks. One120 children were cured from 2 weeks to 3 months, including cases of initial attack and relapse. Symptoms lasting longer than 3 months accounts for 10.8%. Bordetella pertussis, WBC count >20 × 109/L and lymphocyte ratio >60% were associated with poor prognosis ( P < .05). Conclusions. Bordetella pertussis, WBC count, and lymphocyte ratio are independent risk factors for poor prognosis.
