    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory infection.
    • While historically a childhood disease, it is increasingly diagnosed in reproductive-age adults and neonates.
    • Maternal-infant transmission poses significant risks.

    Observation:

    • Presents three case studies of maternal-infant pairs.
    • Demonstrates probable mother-to-newborn transmission of pertussis.
    • Highlights extensive morbidity and healthcare costs associated with these cases.

    Findings:

    • Pertussis transmission from mother to newborn can cause severe illness.
    • Early recognition and intervention are crucial for managing pertussis in neonates.
    • Effective prevention strategies are vital to reduce disease burden.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of pertussis in adults is necessary for early diagnosis.
    • Prompt treatment and management can mitigate severe outcomes in newborns.
    • Public health strategies should focus on preventing pertussis transmission to vulnerable infants.
