Bordetella bronchiseptica infection in the cat

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 1999
Feline Bordetella bronchiseptica infection had received little consideration until recent years when it has been increasingly documented in association with respiratory disease. This article reviews current knowledge on the organism; its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features.

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

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 ...

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.

Bordetella and Mycoplasma Respiratory Infections in Dogs and Cats

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1992
The consequences of B. bronchiseptica and mycoplasma infections in dogs and cats vary greatly. Only careful clinical judgment can dictate when to institute antimicrobial and other supportive treatments. Approaches to controlling diseases caused by these organisms should be tailored to meet individual needs.

Immunomodulation in the pathogenesis of Bordetella pertussis infection and disease

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2007
Bordetella pertussis infection of the airways causes the disease pertussis (or whooping cough). The infection can be fatal in infants, but in older children, adolescents and adults usually results in a chronic cough of varying severity that persists long after clearance of the infection.

Bordetella pertussis and mixed infections.

Minerva pediatrica, 2006
In pertussis-like respiratory infections, once pertussis has been laboratory confirmed, other potential causative pathogens will seldom be looked for. Probably most mixed infections are found accidentally and since these mixed infections might cause a more severe disease we performed a retrospective study of their incidence.We selected from 2 groups of
