Objectives: A resurgence of pertussis or whooping cough has been observed worldwide despite broad vaccination coverage.
Pertussis like illness (PL I) refers to a clinical syndrome compatible with pertussis infection but lacking laboratory confirmation or an epidemiological link to a confirmed case.
Our study aimed to estimate the contribution of Bordetella pertussis infection and identifying predictors of its diagnosis in a cohort of children with PL I.
Methods: Demographic and clinical information were retrospectively collected from the medical records of children < 13 years old and hospitalized for PL I in two pediatric units in Oman from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013.
The laboratory data of all cases were reviewed and confirmed cases of pertussis were identified, analyzed, and compared with non-confirmed cases.
Results: A total of 131 patients were enrolled in this study.
The majority (95.4% [125/131]) were infants.
Only 54.1% (71/131) of admitted children with PL I were tested for pertussis.
The incidence of pertussis infection among the tested group was 16.9% (12/71) with a 95% confidence interval 8.2−25.6.
Severe illness occurred in 56.4% (74/131) of patients, and six were confirmed to have pertussis.
Pediatric intensive care unit admission was required for one confirmed case of pertussis and eight cases from the PL I group (three were negative for pertussis, and five were not tested).
Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis revealed that a white blood cell count ≥ 23.5 × 109/L had 96.6% specificity and lymphocytes ≥ 17 × 109/L had 98.3% specificity.
Conclusions: Taking into consideration that the number tested for pertussis was limited, the incidence of pertussis was 16.9% (12 out of 71 patients).
Lymphocytosis can be used as a reliable predictor for the diagnosis of pertussis especially in the absence of specific confirmatory tests or until their results are available.
