Paracottus is an acute infectious disease, similar in clinical pattern with whooping cough in light form.
Epidemiology of paracottis
The incidence of paracism is lower than whooping cough. The parakoklyushu is characterized by a periodicity that does not correlate with whooping cough.
Paraconiae disease is noted at any age, but more often in children 3-6 years old, get sick both vaccinated against whooping cough and who have recovered from it. The incidence of paracismus at the age of 1 year, as opposed to whooping cough, is low.
What causes paracoids?
Paracottus pathogen - (Bordetella parapertussis) is similar in properties with a pertussis wand. In the laboratory, it is differentiated with specific agglutinating sera.
Symptoms of paracottis
The incubation period of paraculation is 4-14 days. Paracoccosis begins with mild catarrhal phenomena. The general condition of the patient is usually little disturbed: body temperature, as a rule, is not increased. The main symptom of paraculation is a cough. Depending on the features of the cough, pertussis-like and erased forms are isolated.
- With the pertussis-like form of paracoeca after a short prodromal period of 5-7 days, there appears a paroxysmal cough, which is accompanied by hyperemia of the face, reprises, and sometimes ends with vomiting. However, coughing attacks occur less frequently and are less prolonged than with pertussis.
- With a worn out form, a cough is tracheal or tracheobronchial. The diagnosis of paraculation in these patients is established only after bacteriological confirmation.

X-ray reveals the widening of the shadow of the roots, the strengthening of the vascular pattern, less often the densification of the peribronchial tissue.
In peripheral blood, in some patients, moderate leukocytosis and short-term lymphocytosis are found.
Diagnosis of paracottis
Serological reactions should be made with two diagnostics - pertussis and paracolitics, since there is partial cross immunity between pertussis and paracismus.
What tests are needed?
Treatment of paracottis
Treatment parakoklyusha symptomatic.
Prevention of paracottis
Paracolitical patients are isolated for 25 days (from the onset of the disease only from children collectives for children of the first year of life and children's departments of hospitals.) Carrier carriers of paracoloss from these collectives are isolated until two negative bacteriological tests are obtained.
Specific prevention of paraculation is not used.
