The role of adults in household outbreaks of pertussis
TL;DR: Pertussis vaccination in adolescents/young adults may decrease the dissemination of pertussis in households, and adults, particularly those aged between 19 and 39 years, play an important role in pertussi transmission in households.
Journal ArticleDOI
Children with pertussis inform the investigation of other pertussis cases among contacts
TL;DR: Public health authorities should consider implementing early recognition of pertussis index cases and searching for pertussi cases among the contacts, as well as treatment of the cases and prophylaxis of the contacts.
