Abstract
The relevance of the problem of whooping cough in newborns is due to the severity of clinical manifestations and high mortality.
The aim of the work is to present the data available in the literature on the causes of the unfavorable course of whooping cough in newborns, illustrated by our own clinical examples, as well as to summarize the ways to solve this problem.
Materials and methods: a review of domestic and foreign literature over the past 10 years, including Internet resources, was conducted and our own clinical observations of newborns with whooping cough are presented.
Conclusion. Whooping cough in newborns and children of the first months of life develops due to the absence of maternal anti-whooping cough antibodies. The disease is often severe, ending in death. Prevention of whooping cough in newborns and infants should include mandatory vaccination of pregnant women in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
