How does neonatal pertussis do

summary

Pertussis is an acute infectious disease, especially persistent cough. The course of disease can be as long as several months. It is very important to treat it in time. Let's take a look at how to deal with neonatal pertussis.

How does neonatal pertussis do

First of all: isolate the source of infection: strict implementation of respiratory tract isolation is an important part of prevention. The isolation period lasted for 7 weeks from the onset of illness, or 4 weeks from spasmodic cough. The susceptible children in close contact (especially in collective institutions) need to be quarantined for 3 weeks.

Secondly: standardize the planned vaccination: This is the fundamental measure to protect the susceptible population. There are two kinds of DPT vaccine: whole cell triple vaccine and acellular vaccine. Although whole cell pertussis vaccine has played a certain role, the effect is not ideal. The protective effect of acellular DPT vaccine is better than that of whole cell vaccine, and the side effects of whole cell vaccine are avoided.

Finally, intensive immunization should be added: besides the primary immunization at the age of 2, 4 and 6 months, the acellular DPT vaccine should also be used for intensive immunization at the age of 15-20 months and 4-6 years (the 4th and 5th time).
