Transmission of Bordetella pertussis to Young Infants

Abstract: This study provides solid evidence that among infants for whom a source case was identified, household members were responsible for 76%-83% of transmission of Bordetella pertussis to this high-risk group. Vaccination of adolescents and adults in close contact with young infants may thus eliminate a substantial proportion of infant pertussis if high coverage rates can be achieved.

“…An increase in the number of new cases has been observed in vaccinated adolescents and adults, who may contaminate infants who are not yet fully immunized. [2][3][4][5] Since 1998, the administration of a pertussis booster at age 11-13 years has been recommended in France and other countries in Europe and North America. Subsequent recommendations established in 2004 have promulgated the use of a second booster in adults who are in contact with infants, these include health professionals in contact with children who are too young to have received three pertussis vaccinations (medical and paramedical staff in maternity, neonatal and pediatric departments managing infants, and medical and paramedical students), adults who are liable to become parents in the near future, and members of the household of a pregnant woman (children whose vaccinations are not up-to-date or adults who have not been vaccinated within the last 10 years).…”

“…It is potentially effective for protecting newborn infants, as parents are often the primary reservoir and source of neonatal and infant infections. [4][5][6] Immunizing parents and siblings, carriers and grandparents as part of a cocooning strategy provides additional protection for the newborn. [7][8][9][10] Influenza and pertussis create a significant burden of disease affecting both mothers and newborns.…”

“…Apibendrinat galima teigti, kad jauniausia tyrimo dalyvė paskutinį kartą nuo kokliušo buvo skiepyta maždaug prieš 16 metų, o vyresnės -ir dar seniau. Gauti tyrimo rezultatai ati-žmonės, esantys artimiausioje kūdikių aplinkoje, t. y. jų tėvai, broliai, seserys, seneliai [19][20][21][22]. Kokono strategijos pagrindinis tikslas -nuo kokliušo paskiepyti visus šeimos narius ir asmenis, artimai bendraujančius su kūdikiais (t. y. kūdikius prižiū-rinčius asmenis, medicinos įstaigų darbuotojus) ir taip sukurti sąlyginai saugią aplinką, kurioje tikimybė susidurti su kokliušu kūdikiui būtų labai maža.…”
