The objective of this meta-analysis is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of maternal pertussis vaccination based on randomized clinical trials. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Internet, and Wan Fang Database were searched from inception up to the 8th of October 2021, using a protocol registered on PROSPERO with no. 42021287717, and a meta-analysis was conducted. We measured pooled geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for IgG antibodies against pertussis and the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs). We identified a total of 522 publications, and after a strict screening, we found that 6 RCTs were eligible for our meta-analysis. GMCs were determined with a standardized mean difference (SMD), and the pooled SMD of anti-PT, anti-FHA, and anti-PRN IgG from cord blood were 0.91 (95% CI: 0.58, 1.24), 1.03 (95% CI: (0.70, 1.35)), and 1.55(95% CI: 1.22, 1.88), respectively. The pooled OR of SAEs of women and infants did not show a statistical difference; the pooled ORs were 1.26 (95% CI: 0.78, 2.05); P = 0.35) and 0.61 (95% CI: 0.37, 1.01); p = 0.053), respectively. Infants of immunized women have significantly higher transplacental antibodies for protection against pertussis disease during the first 2 months of life.

Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
