The seroepidemiology of Bordetella pertussis infection in Western Europe.
High titres of pertussis toxin (PT) antibody have been shown to be predictive of recent infection with Bordetella pertussis. The seroprevalence of standardized anti-PT antibody was determined in six Western European countries between 1994 and 1998 and related to historical surveillance and vaccine programme data. Standardized anti-PT titres were calculated for a series of whole-cell and acellul...
متن کاملThe seroepidemiology of Immunoglobulin G antibodies against pertussis toxin in China: a cross sectional study
BACKGROUND Pertussis is a reported vaccine-preventable respiratory disease in China. Because the routine laboratory methods for diagnosis are not in use, the reported cases are mainly in infants with classical paroxysmal cough and the true incidence related to pertussis is most likely under estimated. In China, however, few studies have attempted to address this issue. The purpose of this cross...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis antibodies in adults in Hungary: results of an epidemiological cross-sectional study
INTRODUCTION Pertussis (whooping cough) is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by Bordetella pertussis that is characterized by a chronic, severe cough. The optimum immunization schedule for pertussis is unclear, so these vary by countries. AIM To estimate the seroprevalence of pertussis in adults in Hungary. METHOD Serum anti-pertussis toxin immunoglobulin G (anti-PT IgG) antibody ...
متن کاملRegulation of pertussis toxin and lipopolysaccharide levels of Bordetella pertussis 134 in response to modulators
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract, which is caused by Bordetella pertussis. Reemerge of pertussis in some highly immunized populations and divergency in gene order among several B. pertussis strains promoted this research to study the change of pertussis toxin (PT) and lipopolysacharide levels in response to the different environments. Th...
متن کاملBordetella pertussis and pertussis vaccines.
Bordetella pertussis is a human-specific pathogen that causes whooping cough. The use of pertussis whole-cell vaccines in infants and toddlers led to decreased circulation of the bacterium in the child population and a marked decrease in the incidence of the disease. However, vaccine does not result in life-long immunity; indeed, the circulation of the bacterium has not been controlled in the a...
