CLINICAL CASE REPORT: PERTUSSIS INFECTION FOLLOWED BY A PARAPERTUSSIS INFECTION IN THE SAME CHILD

Problems of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases
Whooping cough is a vaccine-preventable, acute respiratory disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In recent years there has been a worldwide reccurrence of pertussis infection.

Identification of a CO2 responsive regulon in Bordetella. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Sensing the environment allows pathogenic bacteria to coordinately regulate gene expression to maximize survival within or outside of a host. Here we show that Bordetella species regulate virulence factor expression in response to carbon dioxide levels ...

Improvement of Mycoplasma pneumoniae–Associated Acute Cerebellar Ataxia and Possible Encephalopathy After Intravenous Immunoglobulin

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) can cause acute postinfectious cerebellar ataxia and encephalitis/encephalopathy. Although ataxia can be self‐limited, prolonged duration of symptoms and long‐term neurological sequelae that persist for months or more are associated with both conditions.

Suspected Macrolide‐Refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia With Discordant Coccidioides Serology in an Immunocompromised Host: A Case Report

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Suspected macrolide‐refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia can be a diagnostic challenge in immunocompromised hosts, particularly after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Screening serologies may further complicate diagnosis when false‐positive or discordant results divert therapy.

[Differentiation between B. pertussis and B. parapertussis according to their fatty acid composition].

Zhurnal mikrobiologii, epidemiologii i immunobiologii, 1981
The fatty acid composition of 3 B. pertussis strains and 2 B. parapertussis strains grown on casein-carbon agar (CCA) with 8% of sheep blood added and without blood, as well as B. parapertussis strain grown on beef-extract agar (BEA) has been studied by gas chromatography. The fatty acid profiles characteristic of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis were

Severe Necrotizing Community‐Acquired Pneumonia and Bilateral Empyema in an Immunocompetent Patient due to Fusobacterium necrophorum

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Necrotizing pneumonia and empyema caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum are uncommon. The classical presentation of Lemierre′s syndrome, characterized by pharyngotonsillitis and internal jugular vein thrombosis, is not always observed, and incomplete and atypical variants can cause diagnostic uncertainty and delay in treatment.

Rebound of Respiratory Virus Activity and Seasonality to Pre‐Pandemic Patterns

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The emergence of SARS‐CoV‐2 and the implementation of non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) profoundly disrupted the transmission dynamics of respiratory viruses, altering their epidemiology and seasonality. However, comprehensive long‐term data on these shifts and their post‐pandemic implications remain limited.

Saliva and Anterior Nasal Samples for Detecting Respiratory Viruses in Children

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT For detecting respiratory viruses, a nasopharyngeal swab sample for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays has been the benchmark. Less discomfort related to sampling is requested especially for children, and thus other sample types have been suggested.

Epidemiology and Burden of Human Metapneumovirus Among Italian Adults in Outpatient and Inpatient Settings, 2014–2025

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) has been increasingly recognized as a major contributor to respiratory infections in all age groups. Owing to its recent discovery, available data on the burden of hMPV in adults are still scant and heterogeneous.
