Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Neonatal Pertussis: A Comparative Study (original) (raw)
2010, The Journal of Pediatrics
We describe the features and outcomes of neonatal pertussis and compare these with neonates with non-pertussis acute respiratory illness from July 2000 through December 2007. Patients with pertussis had a more severe course of disease as evidenced by the clinical presentation, length of hospitalization, and oxygen requirement. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion so that appropriate supportive care can be initiated promptly. (J Pediatr 2010;156:498-500)
