  • Title: The association of viruses with clinical pertussis.
    Author: Pereira MS, Candeias JA.
    Journal: J Hyg (Lond); 1971 Sep; 69(3):299-403. PubMed ID: 4328794.
    Abstract:
    This study describes the results of attempts to grow viruses from per-nasal swabs taken from 136 children with clinical pertussis.Altogether 37 strains of a variety of different viruses were isolated. Adenovirus was the most frequent, making up 30% of the total. Besides these, herpes simplex, measles, influenza A2, influenza B, mumps, poliovirus and respiratory syncytial virus were detected.Bordetella pertussis was isolated from 22% of the cases.It appears that a pertussis-like syndrome can be caused by many agents besides Bord. pertussis and an accurate diagnosis requires laboratory confirmation.
