Pertussis remains a public health concern in Oregon, especially among young infants. The disease can be severe in this age group and is associated with a high inpatient cost. This report describes an Oregon infant who was hospitalized with pertussis for 90 days, required extracorporeal oxygenation for 43 days, suffered complications including stroke, and had hospital charges totaling $1.5 million. Pertussis morbidity among young infants argues for vaccination of women during each pregnancy and of infants beginning promptly at two months of age.
百日咳仍是俄勒冈州的一个公共卫生问题,尤其是在幼儿中。这种疾病在这个年龄组中可能很严重,并且住院费用很高。本报告描述了一名俄勒冈州的婴儿,他因百日咳住院90天,需要体外氧合43天,出现了包括中风在内的并发症,住院费用总计150万美元。幼儿百日咳发病率表明,孕妇每次怀孕时都应接种疫苗,婴儿应从两个月大时立即开始接种。
