Johnson, MD, MPH, director, scientific and medical affairs, AventisPasteur reading and writing across the curriculum. "We've already had great success in the prevention of tetanusand diphtheria in the U.S reading and writing across the curriculum. and believe that the introduction of a combinationvaccine that also protects against pertussis in adults and adolescents willhelp to counter ongoing transmission of this disease."

Risk of Pertussis
Pertussis is a highly contagious, respiratory disease marked by severe coughing reading and writing across the curriculum. Its common name, whooping cough, comes from the "whoop" sound childrenand adults make when they try to inhale during or after a severe coughing spell reading and writing across the curriculum. There are both severe and mild forms of pertussis reading and writing across the curriculum. Although pertussis can occurat any age, severe pertussis disease usually occurs in infants and young childrenwho are at higher risk for severe pertussis-related complications and even death reading and writing across the curriculum. While adults may not experience the debilitating effects of the disease thatinfants do, infected adults can easily transmit the illness to unimmunized andpartially immunized infants and young children reading and writing across the curriculum. Additionally, older adults (morethan 55 years of age) may also be at considerable risk for death associatedwith pertussis.

Mild pertussis disease is difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are notas distinctive; usually a prolonged cough is present, but without the "whoop."One reason for the incomplete identification of pertussis may be that diagnosisof the disease in adults and adolescents is sometimes difficult because symptomsare often atypical.

Although infants and young children may experience mild pertussis disease,it is more often associated with adolescents and adults reading and writing across the curriculum. Even in less severecases, infected adolescents and adults can easily transmit the illness to vulnerableinfants and young children who may experience complications associated withthe disease, such as pneumonia, encephalitis and pertussis- related seizures.

"While older patients are often spared the debilitating effects of thedisease, the fact that it may not be properly diagnosed and treated opens thedoor for spreading the disease," said Dr reading and writing across the curriculum. Johnson reading and writing across the curriculum. "Increased outbreaksin this country are an all too common reminder that we need to bring this diseaseunder control."
