We report five cases of malignant pertussis, a rare but life-threatening illness. Current therapies include supportive care and leukoreduction. Notably, leukoreduction might be more effective when initiated prior to the development of organ failure and pulmonary hypertension.
我们报告了5例恶性百日咳病例,这是一种罕见但危及生命的疾病。目前的治疗方法包括支持性护理和白细胞去除术。值得注意的是,在器官衰竭和肺动脉高压发生之前开始白细胞去除术可能更有效。
