Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Pertussis incidence in Poland has remained high for a decade, with a significant 38% increase in 2016 compared to the previous year.
  • Older individuals with pertussis pose a risk of infection to unvaccinated or under-vaccinated infants and newborns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the 2016 epidemiological situation of pertussis in Poland.
  • To compare the 2016 pertussis data with previous years.
  • To assess the vaccination status of children against pertussis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of individual suspected pertussis case reports submitted to NIZP-PZH.
  • Review of national data from "Infectious diseases and poisoning in Poland in 2016" bulletin.
  • Examination of data from the "Protective vaccinations in Poland in 2016" bulletin.

Main Results:

  • In 2016, 6,828 pertussis cases were recorded, with an incidence rate of 17.77 per 100,000 population.
  • The highest incidence was observed in the 10-14 age group (88.1 per 100,000), with high rates also in infants aged 0 and 3 years.
  • 24% of pertussis patients (1,640 individuals) were hospitalized; no deaths were reported in 2016.

Conclusions:

  • The rise in pertussis cases in 2016 indicates continued bacterial circulation and population susceptibility.
  • Maintaining high vaccination coverage according to the current schedule is crucial for reducing pertussis incidence.
  • Vaccination remains the primary and most effective strategy for pertussis prevention.
