An outbreak of bacteriologically proven pertussis occurred in Austin and Travis County, Texas, over a 7-month period in 1975. Eighty persons were cultured for pertussis in our laboratory. A total of 62% of specimens from 34 individuals with suspected pertussis was positive for Bordetella pertussis. Diagnosis of acute cases by both culture and fluorescent antibody was attempted, and the correlation of the methods is given. Analyses of cases by age, sex, immunization status, and antibiotic treatment prior to culture are included in this report. Two asymptomatic, culture-positive adults were found.
1975年，在得克萨斯州奥斯汀市和特拉维斯县，一场经细菌学证实的百日咳疫情持续了7个月。在我们实验室，对80人进行了百日咳培养。34名疑似百日咳患者的标本中，共有62%对百日咳博德特氏菌呈阳性。尝试通过培养和荧光抗体对急性病例进行诊断，并给出了两种方法的相关性。本报告包括按年龄、性别、免疫状况以及培养前抗生素治疗情况对病例进行的分析。发现了两名无症状、培养呈阳性的成年人。
