Summary

Pertussis (whooping cough) incidence in Poland significantly increased in 2015, highlighting ongoing bacterial circulation. Vaccination remains the most effective prevention strategy against this infectious disease.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pertussis (whooping cough) incidence in Poland has remained high for years.
  • A significant 136% increase in pertussis incidence was observed in 2015, reaching 12.86 per 100,000 population.
  • This rise occurred across various age groups, indicating a shift from previous years' trends.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the epidemiological status of pertussis in Poland during 2015.
  • To compare the 2015 pertussis situation with data from preceding years.
  • To assess the vaccine coverage rates among children in Poland.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of individual suspected pertussis case reports submitted to the National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene (NIPH-NIH).

  • Utilized data from the "Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2015" bulletin.
  • Incorporated information from the "Immunizations in Poland in 2015" bulletin.

    • Main Results:

    • The 2015 pertussis outbreak demonstrated persistent circulation of the bacteria in the environment.
    • Population susceptibility to pertussis infection remains a significant concern.
    • Vaccination coverage data is crucial for understanding disease dynamics.

    Conclusions:

    • The substantial rise in pertussis cases in 2015 underscores the continued presence and spread of the bacteria.
    • Maintaining high vaccination rates according to established schedules is critical for controlling pertussis.
    • Public health strategies must emphasize the importance of vaccination for disease prevention.
