Surveillance of pertussis: methods and implementation
Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2016Pertussis or whooping cough is a respiratory disease caused by Bordetella pertussis or, to a lesser extent, by B. parapertussis. Vaccines against pertussis have been widely used for more than 50 years and have led to a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality.

Prospective pertussis surveillance in Switzerland, 1991–2006
Vaccine, 2011Pertussis has been monitored in Switzerland since 1991 by the nationwide Swiss Sentinel Surveillance Network (SSSN), consisting of approximately 200 general practitioners, internists and pediatricians representing about 3% of the total primary care physicians of these specialities.

Comparison of pertussis surveillance systems in Europe
Vaccine, 2007We compared pertussis surveillance systems of 16 European countries in the period 1998-2002. In twelve out of sixteen countries the system covered the general population. Ten countries relied on WHO case definition for surveillance of pertussis. Eleven countries applied laboratory tests, and eight of them used PCR for case confirmation.

Importance of Enhanced Surveillance for Prevention of Pertussis in Children
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2015Bordetella pertussis infection causes considerable morbidity, even in countries with high vaccination coverage. Surveillance of pertussis is usually passive and based on mandatory reporting. We assessed the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of pertussis cases detected by passive or enhanced surveillance.A prospective population-based study was

Surveillance for Bordetella pertussis infection in Victoria
Australian Journal of Public Health, 1994Abstract: 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 ...

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1989
An enhanced pertussis surveillance and laboratory diagnosis program was initiated in the Halifax metropolitan area of Nova Scotia to better delineate the epidemiology of pertussis. During the 28 months of the study, 526 cases of pertussis were identified (overall yearly incidence: 74 cases per 100,000 population).

CDC Update on Pertussis Surveillance and Tdap Vaccine Recommendations
NASN School Nurse, 2012Pertussis is the most poorly controlled bacterial vaccine-preventable disease. Since the early 1980s there has been an increase in reported cases of pertussis. Multiple factors have likely contributed to the increase, including waning immunity, increased recognition, and changes in diagnostic testing and reporting. Of the four combination vaccines used

Vaccine, 2012
Shortly after pertussis vaccination was reintroduced in Sweden in 1996, an intensified pertussis disease surveillance programme was set up. In this study, we report on in-depth analyses of age-dose-number-specific incidences and the rate of pertussis hospitalisation for children with no, 1 or 2 doses of an acellular pertussis vaccine before pertussis ...
