Fever is not considered a typical presentation of pertussis. We characterized fever among 7840 pertussis cases from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Enhanced Pertussis Surveillance with cough onset from 2015 to 2022. Ten percent of cases had a reported fever. The presence of fever should not rule out pertussis as a cause of cough illness.

To simulate hidden epidemic dynamics connected with asymptomatic and unregistered patients, a new general SIR model was proposed. For some cases, the analytical solutions of the set of 5 differential equations were found, which allow simplifying the parameter identification procedure. Two waves of the pertussis epidemic in England in 2023 and 2024 were simulated with the assumption of zero hidden cases.

Introduction: Pertussis vaccination in pregnancy is a safe and highly effective strategy to protect young infants against severe pertussis, but cases continue to occur. In November 2023, the authors of this paper met to discuss difficulties faced by pertussis vaccination programs in pregnant women in Europe, and the need and potential for new vaccines.
Areas Covered: We summarize current pertussis epidemiology, the status of pertussis vaccination in pregnancy in Europe, followed by a summary of the meeting on benefits of pertussis-only vaccines and pertussis vaccines with improved immunogenicity, including a review of available vaccines.

Objective: To elucidate the evolution of antigen genotype and antimicrobial resistance distribution of () from 2019 to 2023 in northern China.
Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing were utilized to identify the seven antigen genotypes (). E-test and Kirby-Bauer (K-B) disc diffusion were employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and zone of inhibition for against antimicrobial agents.
