Whooping cough due to other bordetella species - what does this mean
Whooping cough due to other bordetella species is a rare form of whooping cough caused by bacteria from the genus bordetella, other than the classic bordetella pertussis. it is usually caused by bordetella parapertussis and bordetella holmesii, and is spread through close contact with an infected person, just like the classic form. symptoms are similar to those of pertussis, including a prolonged cough, difficulty breathing, and vomiting. treatment is the same as for classic whooping cough, with antibiotics being the primary form of treatment.
What happens during the disease - whooping cough due to other bordetella species
Whooping cough, caused by other bordetella species, is an infectious disease of the respiratory tract that is characterized by severe coughing spells, which can be followed by a "whoop" sound when the patient inhales. the bacteria attach to the ciliated epithelial cells of the respiratory tract and produce toxins that damage the cells, causing inflammation and irritation of the airways. this leads to the production of mucus, which can cause coughing and difficulty breathing. the bacteria can also spread to other areas of the body and cause systemic symptoms.
