Abstract
The aim of the investigation was to study the current features of pertussis in children of the first year of life.
The clinical course of pertussis was studied in 63 infants treated in theVolgogradregional children's infectious diseases hospital in 2015—2017.
The analysis of the obtained data demonstrated that currently pertussis retains the typical clinical and laboratory features of the disease. In most children pertussis was of moderate severity, however, in infants under 3 months of age the incidence of severe cases was 18.7 %. Pneumonia in infants developed in 14.3 % of cases, indicating a more favorable course of the pertussis at present time.
