In The Resurgence Of Whooping Cough, Leading Explanations Don't Stand Up To Scrutiny
Whooping cough has exploded in the United States and some other developed countries in recent decades, and many experts suspect ineffective childhood vaccines for the alarming resurgence. Some say the vaccine wears off quicker than public health officials had previously believed. Others suggest that the vaccine protects against illness but does not prevent transmission of the bacterial disease, which is also known as pertussis... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

During CA Pertussis Outbreak, Whole-Cell Vaccine More Effective Than Acellular Vaccine
Whole-cell pertussis vaccines were more effective at protecting against pertussis than acellular pertussis vaccines during a large recent outbreak, according to a new Kaiser Permanente study published in Pediatrics. Whole-cell pertussis vaccines, also called DTwP, were available from the 1940s to 1990s, but were associated with safety concerns that ultimately led to the development of acellular pertussis vaccines, which are also called DTaP.

Modeling the effects of immunizations timing on child health outcomes in india
SUMMARY Timely vaccinations of children in developing countries are important for reducing morbidity and mortality, which are Millennium Development Goals. However, a majority of children do not possess vaccination cards compiling information on timing. We investigated the benefits of vaccination cards for the uptake of immunizations against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DPT), polio, tuberculosis (BCG), and measles using data on over 200,000 Indian children from the District Level Health and Facility Survey 3. Methodological issues such as whether parents of children with higher morbidity levels may have them vaccinat...

A 7-year-old boy with a history of recurrent acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in remission, presented to primary care clinic after 2 days of progressive right hip pain with weight-bearing activities. He was otherwise asymptomatic at the time of presentation. Blood cultures revealed Gram-negative diplococci, which prompted an MRI that was significant for a hip joint effusion and femoral head bone marrow edema. The patient had no sick contacts and no significant past medical history other than ALL. The patient had been given all recommended childhood vaccinations. Arthrocentesis and needle biopsy of the femoral neck were ...

The Challenge of Reaching Adolescents to Promote Health Care
The challenge of providing appropriate preventive health services to adolescents is one familiar to all pediatricians who care for this population. Adolescents have fewer recommended preventive health medical visits than young children and may not have regular contact with the health care system. In recent years, new adolescent vaccines have been developed and recommended to provide protection against pertussis (TdaP), meningococcal meningitis (MCV4), and human papillomavirus (HPV), increasing the need for appropriate preventive health care. In this issue of the journal, Peter Szilagyi and colleagues describe a large rando...

Phylogenetic Approach for Inferring the Origin and Functional Evolution of Bacterial ADP-ribosylation Superfamily.
Abstract Bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferases (BADPRTs) are extensively contributed to determine the strain-specific virulence state and pathogenesis in human hosts. Understanding molecular evolution and functional diversity of the BADPRTs is an important standpoint to describe the fundamental behind in the vaccine designing for bacterial infections. In the present study, we have evaluated the origin and functional evolution of conserved domains within the BADPRTs by analyzing their sequence-function relationship. To represent the evolution history of BADPRTs, phylogenetic trees were constructed based on their protein...

Waning Immunity to Pertussis Following 5 Doses of DTaP
Despite high coverage with acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP), rates of pertussis have increased substantially in 7- to 10-year-olds in recent years. Duration of protection with 5 doses of DTaP may wane earlier than expected and is currently not well described. This evaluation reports increasing risk of pertussis in the 6 years after receipt of the fifth DTaP dose, suggesting that waning of vaccine-induced immunity is occurring before the recommended adolescent booster dose at 11 to 12 years of age.

Waning Immunity to Pertussis Following 5 Doses of DTaP
CONCLUSIONS: This evaluation reports steady increase in risk of pertussis in the years after completion of the 5-dose DTaP series. This rise is likely attributable in part to waning immunity from DTaP vaccines. Continuing to monitor disease burden and vaccine effectiveness in fully vaccinated children in coming years will be important to assess ongoing risk as additional cohorts vaccinated solely with acellular pertussis vaccines are introduced.

Pertussis epidemic
Winter et al describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of the 2010 California pertussis epidemic. They illustrate high disease burden and mortality in Hispanic patients, especially among infants, despite comparable vaccination coverage. The authors speculate that the high burden of disease in Hispanic patients might be caused by having larger households and possibly more contacts. Because the inference of a causal relationship between household size and high pertussis burden among Hispanics was not supported by data in this study, it would be beneficial if the authors considered doing an ecologic analysis by...

Alveolar Macrophages Contribute to Respiratory Tolerance by Inducing FoxP3 Expression in Naïve T Cells.
Abstract It has long been known that alveolar macrophages (AM) from mice and man contribute to maintaining tolerance in the lung. Studies have shown that AM can induce anergy in CD4+ T cells. Nitric oxide, prostaglandins and leukotrienes have been implicated in AM-mediated tolerance. However, it has remained unclear what effect, if any, AM have on FoxP3-induction in CD4+ T cells from mice and humans, and whether or not other immunomodulators might play a role. AM were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from either mice or humans and co-cultured with enriched naïve CD4+FoxP3- T cells. We show here for...

Effects of Simultaneous Immunization of Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate Vaccine and Diphtheria-Tetanus-Acellular Pertussis Vaccine on Anti-Tetanus Potencies in Mice, Guinea Pigs, and Rats.
In this study, we investigated the effect of HibT containing combination vaccines on anti-tetanus potencies by using animal models (mouse, guinea pig, and rat). HibT vaccine and HibT components of imported DTaP-HibT vaccine alone showed comparable or higher anti-tetanus potency than DTaP vaccine and DTaP-containing components of combination vaccines. Mixing these components before injection resulted in potencies greater than the sum of individual potencies. Injecting individual components at separate sites in animals resulted in potency roughly equivalent to the sum of the individual potencies. These results provide useful...
