1.Dear Parent/Guardian,
There has been a case of Pertussis (百日咳) reported at Hilltop High.Your child may have been exposed to this highly infectious disease that causes severe coughing.Because no vaccine is 100% protective,even immunized persons can become ill with Pertussis,but the symptoms are usually milder.
Pertussis is spread through the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes.Infants and young children are at highest risk.Their symptoms most often include cold symptoms such as runny nose,slight fever,and occasional cough.The cough becomes worse and may be followed by:
•a crowing (whooping) sound on breathing in
•vomiting
•choking or turning blue
In older children and adults,Pertussis symptoms include serious coughing attacks that last for two weeks or longer.These attacks may worsen at night.
If your child starts to show symptoms of Pertussis:
1.Consult your healthcare provider and let them know your child may have been exposed
to someone ill with Pertussis.This disease is treated with specific antibiotics.
2.Inform the school if your doctor suspects your child is ill with Pertussis.Sick children should stay home until completion of five days of antibiotic therapy to prevent spreading the disease to others.
To help protect against getting ill from Pertussis:
1.Check with your doctor to see if you and your family are up to date with the appropriate vaccine.
2.Wash hands frequently.
3.Visit the websites www.vaccineinformation.org/video/pertussis.asp or www.sdiz.org.to learn more about Pertussis.
4.Parents of children without symptoms may consider making an appointment for the child to see their doctor.
If you have any additional questions about Pertussis,you may call the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency,Epidemiology and Immunization Services at 1-866-358-2966and press 5to speak with a Public Health Nurse.
