[Clinical-epidemiological study of Bordetella pertussis infection in the Gran Canaria island in the period, 2008-2016].

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of pertussis has increased in the last years in Gran Canaria, with a lower development of complications and mortality rates compared with the previous period. Lower age and non-vaccination status are considered risk factors for developing complications. Vaccination in pregnant women will probably lead to a decline in the incidence in the future, especially in infants younger than 6 months. PMID: 29223471 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
