The Cаse оf the Cоughing Newbоrn - Pаrt 3   Three dаys later, PCR and serology test results came back positive for pertussis. The doctor explained to Maren that it would still be a few days for the cultures to grow, but that lab results so far suggested whooping cough. Maren called her sister and learned that she also had been diagnosed with pertussis just last week. Maren was angry—her sister had likely given Bernadette the infection at the family reunion. Maren's sister said she would never have attended the party if she thought she had a serious illness; because she had a slight runny nose, she just thought her allergies were flaring up. Neither of them understood how Maren's sister could have contracted the disease, because she'd gotten her booster shot six years ago when she was 12 years old, per the standard vaccination recommendations. Bernadette's coughing fits intensified despite treatment. In the hospital, Maren and Zander told a doctor about the sister's pertussis diagnosis. The doctor listened and then explained that recent studies showed only ten percent of patients remain fully protected against pertussis within four years of getting vaccinated. That's why the CDC now recommends people over age 19 get a booster shot. The doctor also explained that pregnant women are advised to get the Tdap booster during each pregnancy. This vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. The antibodies against these diseases are also passed onto the child through the placenta and, after birth, through breast milk. This provides temporary immunity to the infants, which protects them until they can receive their own vaccinations. Maren recalled her doctor recommending this vaccine during the last trimester of pregnancy. Despite her obstetrician's reassurance that the vaccine was safe during pregnancy, Maren and her husband were nervous about the matter so decided not to have the vaccine until the baby was born. Maren was vaccinated right before she was discharged from the hospital after Bernadette was born. Three days after Bernadette was admitted to the hospital, culture results confirmed pertussis. Antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed, showing that Bernadette's strain of Bordetella pertussis was resistant to erythromycin. Doctors changed Bernadette's antibiotic. However, her fragile, young lungs had already sustained severe damage from the infection. Despite many interventions and the best efforts of hospital staff, Bernadette died. Question 5: Which vaccine booster might have protected Maren's sister from the disease?

The Cаse оf the Cоughing Newbоrn - Pаrt 2   At the emergency room, а physician assistant measured Bernadette's blood pressure and temperature, listened to her lungs, and took a brief history. Bernadette's coughing and gasping worried the PA, so Bernadette was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Fever, runny nose, and slightly elevated blood pressure could be due to a cold or flu. But the distinctive cough and the patient's history led the medical team to suspect Bernadette had pertussis, or whooping cough. To know for sure, they drew blood, swabbed Bernadette's nose and throat, and sent the samples off for laboratory analysis. They immediately started Bernadette on erythromycin, an antibiotic used to treat Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough.   Question 3: What causes whooping cough?

Questiоn 2: At first, Bernаdette hаd а slight cоugh, a slight fever, and a runny nоse. In which stage of infection do you expect her to be?  

Chаpter 12 - Adаptive Immunity The Cаse оf the Cоughing Newbоrn - Part 1   As with clinical situations in real life, not all of the information you'll need to answer the questions will come directly from the case; you'll need to rely on your background knowledge and the information in the chapters to be successful! Zander and Maren's first child, Bernadette, was slightly premature and weighed barely over five pounds at birth. She had difficulty nursing, and after a few days of frustration, Maren gave up breast feeding and used formula instead. Bernadette steadily gained weight after that. Because she was born a little early, Zander and Maren insisted that all visitors had appropriate vaccinations, used hand sanitizer, and wore masks if they had a cold. At seven weeks old, Bernadette went to her first big outing, a family reunion. One week later, she developed a runny nose, cough, and a slight fever of 99.7 degrees Fahrenheit ࿅.6 degrees Celsius). Fortunately, they already had an appointment in place to see Bernadette's pediatrician; they were taking the baby in for her first round of vaccines. The doctor saw that the baby wasn't feeling well, so he suggested they follow up in three days to check on Bernadette's progress. Provided Bernadette was doing better, they'd administer the vaccines at that follow-up visit. The doctor told them to call if Bernadette's symptoms worsened. Within a couple days, Bernadette's cough became paroxysmal, meaning it intensified and became more frequent. Maren called the pediatrician and told the doctor that Bernadette's lips had turned a little blue; she was struggling to breathe, and two times she even threw up due to the intense coughing spells. The pediatrician told Maren and Zander to immediately take Bernadette to the emergency room.   Question 1: What is meant by the term "paroxysmal"?
