Abstract (EN):
Bordetella pertussis infection remains a serious potential health risk to infants, specially in those too young to be-vaccinated. Over the recent years, numerous sources highlighted a widespread resurgence, making it, again, a challenging disease. Globally, pertussis is ranked among the 10 leading causes of childhood mortality. This review summarizes the most recent literature and will address the most important aspects that pediatricians and neonatologists must be familiar with, when treating a newborns pertussis infection.
