  1. June 2010 California Pertussis Update

  2. Pertussis Background • Pertussis is the most poorly controlled vaccine-preventable disease • Incidence increasing since the 1990s • Cyclical: peaks every 2-5 years as numbers of susceptible people increase enough to allow sustained transmission; last peak year 2005 with 25,616 U.S. cases, a 45 year high • Adults are vulnerable to pertussis • 27% of reported cases are among adults • Pertussis immunity wanes 5 to 10 years after DTaP* series (immunity from disease wanes in 15 years) • ~25% of cough illness lasting >2 weeks is pertussis • First pertussis vaccines (Tdap)† for adolescents and adults licensed in 2005; uptake suboptimal • *Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine • †Tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine

  3. Typical Symptoms of Pertussis • Three-stage bacterial illness (catarrhal, paroxysmal and convalescent) that lasts 4-12 weeks • Typical symptoms • paroxysmal cough • lack of fever • no systemic illness • coryza; no pharyngitis • posttussive vomiting • posttussive whoop • absolute lymphocytosis • Adults with pertussis often report feeling as if they’re choking on something, sweating episodes

  4. Pertussis in Young Infants • Initially infant looks deceptively well; coryza, no fever, mild cough • Leukocytosis with lymphocytosis • Apneic episodes • Seizures • Respiratory distress • Pneumonia • Adenovirus or RSV coinfection can confuse picture

  5. Pertussis hospitalizations in infants <1 year, by age in weeks –California, 2008

  6. Pertussis resurgence since the 1990s • Genetic changes in B. pertussis; greater virulence? • Variable vaccine efficacy (acellular pertussis vaccines licensed in 1991 for 4th/5th doses; entire series in 1996) • Waning of vaccine-induced immunity and lack of natural booster events • General availability of better laboratory tests • Greater awareness of pertussis by clinicians

  10. California Pertussis Cases - 2010 • As of 6/15/2010, there have been 910 pertussis cases reported in 2010, a 4-fold increase from the number of reported cases during the same time period in 2009; an additional 600 cases are under investigation • From January through June of 2005 there were 1,261 pertussis cases; these data suggest the disease burden is at or above the levels seen in 2005, which was a 45 year high in cases • Other states are reporting 2010 increases to CDC, but none reporting increases similar to those in California • Possible differences in states with and without middle school Tdap vaccination requirement

  12. California Pertussis Deaths • Five deaths in 2010 to date • All CA pertussis deaths (~3/year) since 1996, except one, have been in infants <3 months of age; age at symptom onset ranged from 5 days – 8 weeks • 80% Hispanic (50% of birth cohort Hispanic) • The mean WBC of fatal cases in 1998-2009 was 75,000 (range 15,000-148,000) • Pertussis toxinelicits a dose-dependent leukocytosis • Of those with known status, all had pulmonary HTN • Increases in leukocyte mass can diminish blood flow by increasing vascular resistance; however, pulmonary HTN is generally initiated and maintained by many factors • Risk factor study being conducted

  14. 2008 Infant Pertussis Hospitalization Costs in California • In 2008, there were 222 hospitalizations in infants <1 year of age with the diagnosis code for pertussis • 96% were <4 months of age at admission • Median length of stay 3.5 days (range 1—52 days) • 2 deaths • 73% Medi-Cal payer • 63% Hispanic • 22% White • 5% Black • 3% API • Charge data is listed for 202 hospitalizations, of these: • Mean total charge: $46,328 • Median total charge: $18,966 • Range $2,876--$798,748

  15. Pertussis Mitigation • Promote the use of Tdap - particularly in those who have contact with infants • Free vaccine through 9/30/2010 for birth hospitals with postpartum Tdap policies; encourage ED use of Tdap • Work with payers re: Tdap reimbursement • Clinician education • CDPH Tdap recommendations • Pertussis signs and symptoms • Treatment recommendations for infants with severe pertussis • Accelerated DTaP schedule for infants • Public education • Vaccination/cocooning • Pertussis signs and symptoms • Keep ill people away from infants

  16. Pertussis Transmission to Infants • Adults transmit pertussis to infants • Among 264 known source-cases: • Almost 50% were parents, most often mothers • 51% were adults >19 years of age Bisgard KM, et al. Infant pertussis: who was the source? Pediatr Infect Dis J 2004; 23(11):985-989. Wendelboe AM, et al. Transmission of Bordetella pertussis to young infants. Pediatr Infect Dis J 2007; 26(4):293-299.
