Measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have been associated with reduction in other respiratory infections. Results of a national Swedish cohort study of infant pertussis during April 2020-September 2021 were compared with those during January 2014-March 2020. The number of pertussis cases decreased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, from an average of 21 infant cases per quarter of a year before the pandemic to an average of 1 case per quarter during the pandemic. Swedish strategies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 seem to have had an impact on pertussis incidence in infants.
为减少 COVID-19 的传播而采取的措施与减少其他呼吸道感染有关。2020 年 4 月至 2021 年 9 月期间,瑞典全国婴儿百日咳队列研究的结果与 2014 年 1 月至 2020 年 3 月期间的结果进行了比较。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,百日咳病例数量明显下降,从大流行前每季度平均 21 例婴儿病例下降到大流行期间每季度平均 1 例病例。瑞典为减轻 COVID-19 传播而采取的策略似乎对婴儿百日咳发病率产生了影响。
