The clinical presentation of Bordetella pertussis can overlap with that of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); however, management differs.
First, the prevalence of B. pertussis is less than 2% among patients screened for RSV, and second the prevalence of B. parapertussis is also less than 2% among these patients.
Nasal washings submitted to a clinical laboratory for RSV screening were tested for B. pertussis and B. parapertussis, using species-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. These were optimized to target conserved regions within a complement gene and the CarB gene, respectively. A Bordetella spp. genus-specific real-time PCR assay was designed to detect the Bhur gene of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica. RSV A and B subtypes were tested by reverse transcription-PCR.
Four hundred and eighty-nine clinical samples were tested. There was insufficient material to complete testing for one B. pertussis, 10 RSV subtype A, and four RSV subtype B assays. Bordetella pertussis was detected in 3/488 (0.6%) (95% CI 0.1% to 1.8%), while B. parapertussis was detected in 5/489 (1.0%) (95% CI 0.3% to 2.4%). Dual infection of B. pertussis with RSV and of B. parapertussis with RSV occurred in two and in three cases respectively. RSV was detected by PCR in 127 (26.5%).
The prevalence of B. pertussis in nasal washings submitted for RSV screening was less than 2%. The prevalence of parapertussis may be higher than 2%. RSV with B. pertussis and RSV with B. parapertussis coinfection do occur.
百日咳博德特氏菌的临床表现可能与呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV) 重叠,但治疗方法不同。
首先,在筛查 RSV 的患者中,百日咳博德特氏菌的患病率低于 2%,其次,这些患者中副百日咳博德特氏菌的患病率也低于 2%。
将提交给临床实验室进行 RSV 筛查的鼻洗液,使用针对物种特异性的实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测百日咳博德特氏菌和副百日咳博德特氏菌。这些方法分别针对补体基因和 CarB 基因的保守区域进行了优化。设计了一种针对 B. pertussis、B. parapertussis 和 B. bronchiseptica 的 Bhur 基因的 Bordetella spp. 属特异性实时 PCR 检测方法。通过逆转录-PCR 检测 RSV A 和 B 亚型。
共检测了 489 个临床样本。有一个 B. pertussis、10 个 RSV 亚型 A 和 4 个 RSV 亚型 B 的检测因材料不足而无法完成。在 488 个样本中检测到 3 株百日咳博德特氏菌(0.6%)(95%CI 0.1%至 1.8%),而检测到 5 株副百日咳博德特氏菌(1.0%)(95%CI 0.3%至 2.4%)。RSV 和 B. pertussis 的双重感染以及 RSV 和 B. parapertussis 的双重感染分别发生在 2 例和 3 例患者中。127 例(26.5%)通过 PCR 检测到 RSV。
在筛查 RSV 的鼻洗液中,百日咳博德特氏菌的患病率低于 2%。副百日咳博德特氏菌的患病率可能高于 2%。RSV 与 B. pertussis 和 RSV 与 B. parapertussis 的合并感染确实存在。
