Pertussis or whooping cough is a highly contagious infection of the respiratory tract caused by the bacterium albordtella pertussis. It’s a disease that could affects human at all his stages of life and the infection may be repeated several times, but gravity is reflected in babies given the complications that can lead to death. Over the last decades, the disease have increased although vaccines. And because of the decreased immunity against this disease among adults and adolescents, making them vulnerable, they become a source of infection for children who have not yet received the vaccine or have not completed the initial vaccination.

Over the last decades, the disease have increased although vaccines. And because of the decreased immunity against this disease among adults and adolescents, making them vulnerable, they become a source of infection for children who have not yet received the vaccine or have not completed the initial vaccination.

Abstract: (french)
La coqueluche est une infection respiratoire, bactérienne, strictement humaine, due à Bordetella pertussis, coccobacille à Gram négatif qui sécrètent toxines et adhésines, sont responsables des effets cytopathogènes locaux et systémiques observés lors de la maladie tels la destruction de l’épithélium respiratoire cilié et l’hyperlymphocytose. Elle touche l'homme à tout âge. On peut avoir la maladie plusieurs fois au cours de la vie. La vaccination des enfants a permis la diminution de la morbidité et de la mortalité par la coqueluche, mais l’épidémiologie s’est transformée sous l’effet de la vaccination. La coqueluche est désormais fréquente chez l’adolescent et l’adulte mais méconnue, ce qui contribue à la pérennisation de la circulation de Bordetella pertussis et à la contamination de jeunes nourrissons qui font les formes les plus sévères. Ces bactéries extracellulaires, En raison de ce danger pour les nourrissons, plusieurs pays,,ont ajouté des rappels vaccinaux pour l’adolescent et l’adulte.
