Letter to the editor: The measles outbreak in Bulgaria, 2009-2011: an epidemiological assessment and lessons learnt - but not completely yet

Pertussis is an acute respiratory illness caused by , showing a re-emergence in developed countries. However, it is probably under-recognised and, as a consequence, its burden is underestimated. Here, we report the clinical case of an infant diagnosed with pertussis, despite a regular schedule of vaccination, thanks to a careful clinical evaluation, including personal and family history. In addition to pointing the attention on a precocious diagnosis of atypical cases of pertussis, this case report further raised the issue of modifying and/or implementing the immunisation strategy, considering the ongoing changes of social (eg, immigration) and sanitary (eg, vaccine coverage) background in Italy and all over the Europe.
