Whooping

cough

A surge of whooping
cough infections has
afflicted North Shore
residents in the last
two months.

Debbie Ryan, director of

the maternal child yout
program ior North Shore
Health Region, said the
North Shore recorded 28
cases of the bacterial infee-
tion in the fast 60 days.

Usually, one of neo cases
of whooping cough or
Bordetella pertussis infection
is logged cach week on the
Norti Shore.

It’s not unusual to go sev-
eral weeks without any
reported cases here.

Ryan said the North
Shore is not unique in the
recent increase in cases. The
province has experienced a
wave of pertussis infections
recently. The North Shore
has not been as hard hit as
other areas of the province.

“Obviously we are con-
cerned around individuals
and how their — cases
progress,” said Ryan.

She added that pre-school-
ers and older people are more
at risk for the effects of the
infection. But the recent
increase in whooping cough
cases has afflicted children
aged 10 to 14.

instances, especially in
infants. Heavy and frequent
coughing associated with
whooping cough prevents
people from cating properly.
The coughing can stimulate
vomiting.

Ryan said the spread in
pertussis is expected to go
down when school officially
ends next week.

Young children reeeive
vaccines for pertussis. Ryan
said there are incanchiusive
theories about why whoop-
ing cough cases have
increased in the last few years
despite vaccinations.

Ryan referred to World
Health Organization infor-
mation indicating that in
countries where there are no
vaccination programs, per-
tussis is a major health prob-
tem in children and causes an
estimated 300,000 deaths a
year. Canada © statistically
records less than one death a
year from the infection.

Anyone with a persistent
cough that lasts more than
two weeks, should see their
doctor. Anyone with ques-
tions may call a communica-
ble disease coutrol nurse at
North Shore Health Regicn
weekdays at 983-6760.
