Hypercapnia as a Key Mechanism in the Development of Pulmonary Hypertension in Malignant Pertussis: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Despite intensive care advances, malignant pertussis (MP) remains highly lethal. Our case suggests that hypercapnia‐induced pulmonary vasoconstriction may play a reversible role in MP pathophysiology. Thus, targeting hypercapnia control could represent a promising therapeutic approach in managing this severe complication.

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.

Yin and yang of interleukin-17 in host immunity to infection [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]

, 2017
The interleukin-17 (IL-17) family cytokines, such as IL-17A and IL-17F, play important protective roles in host immune response to a variety of infections such as bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral.

Torque Teno Virus Levels During Viral Respiratory Infections: The Interplay With Immune Dysregulation and Coagulopathy Biomarkers

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Torque teno virus (TTV) is a ubiquitous, nonenveloped DNA virus of the Anelloviridae family and a proposed surrogate marker of immune competence. Although nonpathogenic, its replication reflects host immune status and is associated with immune dysregulation during respiratory viral infections (RVIs).

Bordetella BcrH1 and BcrH2 Are Specific Chaperones for the Pore‐Forming Complex

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 57-67, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Bordetella has a type III secretion system that secretes virulence proteins crucial to the establishment of infection. The genes encoding components of the Bordetella type III secretion system are located in the bsc region on the chromosome. This region includes the bcrH1 and bcrH2 genes, which respectively encode the proteins BcrH1 and BcrH2.
