2 July, 2012 Don’t Mistake Whooping Cough for a Winter Cold
As we settle into the winter season and colds become common, it can be difficult to differentiate between a common cold and the early symptoms of Whooping Cough (pertussis).
Whooping Cough is highly infectious bacterial disease, easily spread through coughing and sneezing. It is a disease that can be especially severe in infants, elderly and those with chronic illness. As numbers of Whooping Cough cases continue to rise, Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS), encourages the public to take extra precautions against exposing those at risk of the disease.
For healthy adults and children Whooping Cough may start simply as an annoying cough but rarely causes severe illness and so might be disregarded. The problem lies in the fact that many infants who catch whooping cough get it from a parent, caregiver or older brother or sisters. “A good general rule is that if you have a cough you should stay away from babies and infants. If your work brings you into contact with babies, infants or pregnant women then we strongly recommend that you get a whooping cough booster vaccination every 10 years,” said Dr Andrew Lindsay, Medical Officer of Health at ARPHS.
If your child develops a cough, even if you child has been vaccinated for whooping cough, it is important to see your doctor. This is because immunity to whooping cough decreases over time and the vaccine does not give 100% protection.
On time vaccination is the best way to protect babies and infants. The free vaccination programme in children starts at six weeks then followed at three months and then at five months of age. Babies will not be protected until they have received all three doses. If you are not sure if your child’s vaccinations are up to date – ask your doctor. Just as important, is the vaccination of those who may pass the disease to an infant or other vulnerable people. Dr Lindsay encourages those who have regular and close contact with newborns to consider getting themselves vaccinated as added protection.

第二段:Whooping Cough is highly infectious bacterial disease, easily spread through coughing and sneezing. It is a disease that can be especially severe in infants, elderly and those with chronic illness
百日咳是传染性很强的细菌性疾病,容易通过咳嗽和打喷嚏传播。这种疾病,在婴幼儿,老人和慢性疾病的人中尤为严重。
第三段:
由于百日咳和感冒的咳嗽症状容易被忽略。问题在于,许多婴幼儿的百日咳是被父母,照顾者或年长的兄弟或姐妹那里传染的。“一个良好的一般规矩,如果你有咳嗽,你应该远离婴幼儿。如果你的工作接触到婴儿,幼儿或孕妇,那么强烈建议您做每10年百日咳免疫接种”
最后:
即使宝宝接种疫苗也不一定百分之百的防止百日咳。
百日咳疫苗接种分三段:出生后6个星期,随后3个月,然后在5个月。 在这三次疫苗接种没有完成前。宝宝依然有会受到百日咳的威胁。 只有三次都接种完才相对安全。作者: MaxPower 时间: 2012-7-4 00:04:27
