Household contacts are important sources of Bordetella pertussis in infants. A total of 353 household contacts of 97 index cases were evaluated for pertussis by culture and polymerase chain reaction. Twenty eight contacts were positive (8.0%). The presence of symptoms did not influence the rate of diagnosed bacteriologic pertussis in communicants. We conclude that contacts with an index case can be positive for B. pertussis independently of the presence of symptoms.
家庭接触者是婴儿百日咳博德特氏菌的重要来源。对97例索引病例的353名家庭接触者进行了培养和聚合酶链反应检测以评估百日咳情况。28名接触者呈阳性(8.0%)。症状的出现并不影响感染者中确诊的细菌性百日咳发病率。我们得出结论,与索引病例的接触者可能百日咳博德特氏菌呈阳性,而与症状的有无无关。
