Children hospitalized with pertussis (whooping cough) in infancy may experience later respiratory issues. However, the study found no significantly higher incidence of abnormal pulmonary function compared to controls.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • The long-term effects of pertussis (whooping cough) on pulmonary function are not well-established.
  • Infant pertussis hospitalization may impact future respiratory health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between infant pertussis hospitalization and subsequent pulmonary function abnormalities.
  • To assess respiratory symptoms and lung function in individuals with a history of severe pertussis.

Main Methods:

  • Studied 30 individuals hospitalized with pertussis before 6 months of age.
  • Performed spirometry, lung volumes, maximum flow rates, and histamine challenges.
  • Collected data on respiratory symptoms and family history of asthma.

Main Results:

  • 30% of subjects reported recurrent cough and wheeze.
  • 37% exhibited abnormal pulmonary function tests.
  • Symptomatic subjects often showed abnormal lung function, including positive histamine challenges.
  • 21% had a family history of asthma.

Conclusions:

  • Infant pertussis hospitalization can be associated with later lower airway symptoms and abnormal pulmonary function.
  • The incidence of these abnormalities was not significantly higher than in a socio-economic matched control group.
