WHOOPING COUGH: EPIDEMIOLOGY, BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS
Keywords:
whooping cough, pathogenesis of whooping cough, epidemiology of whooping cough, laboratory diagnostics of whooping cough.Abstract
The problem of epidemiology, laboratory diagnostics and specific prevention of whooping cough remains relevant, since the incidence rate of this “vaccination-controlled” infection is growing annually, despite the wide coverage of vaccinations among children. Knowledge of the characteristics of the spread and course of whooping cough infection, the circulation of Bordetella pertussis strains in modern conditions, the pathogenicity factors of the pathogen and the mechanisms of pathogenesis of the disease is important for both medical students and doctors of various specialties - not only pediatricians, but also therapists, pulmonologists, bacteriologists, epidemiologists, etc.
