The Effect of Maternal Pertussis Vaccination on Neonatal Health Outcomes in the Dutch Pregnancy Drug Register

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The currently high pertussis‐related morbidity and mortality among infants has led to increased international attention for pertussis vaccination during pregnancy. We studied the safety of maternal pertussis vaccination in the Netherlands with respect to neonatal health. Methods Data from the cohort the Dutch Pregnancy Drug Register

Emergence of Bordetella holmesii–Associated Pertussis-Like Illness, Northern India, 2019–2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We investigated Bordetella holmesii and Bordetella pertussis in 935 suspected pertussis cases in northern India (2019–2023) using PCR and serology. B. holmesii showed increased prevalence in pertussis cases, particularly in older children, highlighting ...

Impact of Routine Respiratory Pathogen Panel Test on Outcome of Pediatric Oncology Patients With Febrile Neutropenia

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric oncology patients, especially during neutropenia. While bacterial infections are traditionally considered the primary cause of febrile neutropenia, the growing use of respiratory pathogen panels (RPPs) for viral detection in children has not been extensively ...

isolates in Finland: Serotype and fimbrial expression [PDF]

, 2008
Background Bordetella pertussis causes whooping cough or pertussis in humans. It produces several virulence factors, of which the fimbriae are considered adhesins and elicit immune responses in the host. B.

Diversity of Rhinovirus and Enterovirus Infections Among Pediatric Patients Hospitalized in Wisconsin, 2022–2023

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Severe rhinovirus (RV)/enterovirus (EV) respiratory infections in pediatric patients increased in the US during 2022–2023. This study aimed to characterize RV/EV genetic diversity among hospitalized children in Wisconsin and describe demographic and clinical factors of patients by RV/EV type.

Sensitivity and specificity of single IgA and IgG antibody concentrations for early diagnosis of pertussis in adults: an evaluation for outbreak management in public health practice [PDF]

, 2007
Background: An accurate, practical laboratory test is needed to confirm clinical diagnosis of pertussis in adults during the first 3 symptomatic weeks, when treatment is effective and transmission can be interrupted.

Airborne Transmission of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012
Pertussis is a contagious, acute respiratory illness caused by the bacterial pathogen Bordetella pertussis. Although it is widely believed that transmission of B. pertussis occurs via aerosolized respiratory droplets, no controlled study has ever documented airborne transmission of pertussis.

Impact of Nirsevimab on Respiratory Syncytial Virus PCR Test Positivity in Young Infants: A Community‐Level Observational Study in Queensland, Australia

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 614-620, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim In April 2024 nirsevimab, a long‐acting respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)‐specific monoclonal antibody, was made available free of charge to all newborn infants in Queensland. We aimed to explore the community‐level impact of a nirsevimab‐based prevention program on RSV detection percentages among infants aged ≤ 3 months in Queensland ...

Do not let perfect be the enemy of good: the current reality of Bordetella testing

Microbiology Spectrum
Diagnosis of Bordetella pertussis is made by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect insertion sequence 481 (IS481). However, IS481 is found in both B. pertussis and Bordetella holmesii. In a recent study, Cole et al.
