Coughing Precipitated by Bordetella pertussis Infection

Lung, 2009
Infections with the gram-negative bacteria Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) have long been recognized as a significant threat to children and are increasingly recognized as a cause of cough in adolescents and adults. Antibiotic therapy, when administered during the virulent stages of the disease, can reduce the duration and severity of symptoms ...

Acute Bordetella pertussis infection in an adult

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
Bordetella pertussis was transmitted from an immunized boy to his father and possibly to other family members. This case report demonstrates that although unusual, acute adult B. pertussis infection can occur. B. pertussis immunization may not prevent infection but can reduce the severity. B.

Bordetella parapertussis infections.

Developments in biological standardization, 1997
The rate of isolation of Bordetella parapertussis among children with cough during the follow-up of different clinical efficacy studies has been evaluated. In the Italian trial, a comparison of clinical characteristics between B. pertussis and B. parapertussis infections showed lower frequencies and shorter duration of typical symptoms of whooping ...

Bordetella bronchiseptica Pleural Infection in a Patient with AIDS

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2002
Bordetella bronchiseptica is an important veterinary pathogen but a rare cause of opportunistic respiratory tract infection in humans. We describe a case of pleural effusion caused by B. bronchiseptica in a patient with AIDS who was coinfected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case in the medical literature

A Search for Bordetella pertussis Infection in University Students

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1992
University students with persistent cough of greater than or equal to 6 days' duration were evaluated for evidence of infection with Bordetella pertussis. Of 130 students studied during a 30-month period, 34 (26%) were found to have evidence of recent infections with B. pertussis.

Household Contact Study of Bordetella pertussis Infections

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995
Household contacts of primary pertussis cases were evaluated. Infection was determined by culture, direct fluorescent antibody assay, and serological criteria. Agglutinin titers and values of ELISA IgG and IgA antibodies to lymphocytosis-promoting factor, filamentous hemagglutinin, and pertactin were determined.

Surveillance for Bordetella pertussis infection in Victoria

Australian Journal of Public Health, 1994
Abstract: Our aims were to describe the epidemiology of Bordetella pertussis infection in Victoria during the last decade and to evaluate surveillance of B. pertussis by comparing notifications with laboratory isolations and hospital diagnoses. Whooping cough was once a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality but there was a dramatic ...

Intranasal infection with Bordetella bronchiseptica in gnotobiotic piglets

Research in Veterinary Science, 1976
Nineteen gnotobiotic piglets, four to six days old, from three different litters, were inoculated intranasally on three consecutive days with a pure culture of Bordetella bronchiseptica. Necropsy 10 to 30 days after inoculation revealed atrophic rhinitis lesions in all and pneumonia in 13 (73 per cent)infected piglets.
