Area of Science:

Epidemiology
Infectious Diseases

Context:

Poland observed a further global increase in reported pertussis cases in 1998.
The total reported cases reached 2871, with a significant portion from the previous year.
The incidence peaked in late 1997 and early 1998, then declined.

Purpose:

To analyze the trend of pertussis incidence in Poland during 1997-1998.
To investigate potential factors contributing to the observed increase in pertussis cases.

Summary:

An increase in pertussis incidence was noted in Poland, affecting all age groups but more pronounced in children aged 5-14.
This rise was not linked to changes in vaccination coverage or vaccine effectiveness.
Diagnostic limitations, specifically a low rate of culture or ELISA confirmation, may impact the specificity of reported pertussis cases.

Impact:

Highlights the need for improved diagnostic accuracy in pertussis surveillance.
Suggests that factors beyond vaccination may drive pertussis outbreaks in specific populations.
Informs public health strategies for managing pertussis, especially in school-aged children.
