We describe the features and outcomes of neonatal pertussis and compare these with neonates with non-pertussis acute respiratory illness from July 2000 through December 2007. Patients with pertussis had a more severe course of disease as evidenced by the clinical presentation, length of hospitalization, and oxygen requirement. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion so that appropriate supportive care can be initiated promptly.
我们描述了新生儿百日咳的特征和结果，并将其与 2000 年 7 月至 2007 年 12 月间患有非百日咳急性呼吸道疾病的新生儿进行了比较。百日咳患儿的临床表现、住院时间和氧需求表明其疾病严重程度更高。临床医生应该有很高的怀疑指数，以便能够及时开始适当的支持性护理。
