Pertussis Epidemiology
• Infectious Agent: Bordetella pertussis
• Transmission: Respiratory droplets
• Incubation period: Average 7-10 days (range is 4-21 days)
• Communicability: Lasts up to 21 days after cough onset or after antibiotic treatment has been completed (usually 5 days)
12/4/2017 23
Pertussis Epidemiology cont’d
• Clinical illness: Three phases of disease-
1. Catarrhal stage: onset of runny nose, sneezing, low-grade fever, slight cough that gradually becomes more severe (1-2 weeks)
2. Paroxysmal cough stage: coughing fits, may be followed by inspiratory whoop, apnea, or vomiting (1-6 weeks)
3. Convalescence: gradual resolution of paroxysmal cough (weeks to months)
➢ Vaccinated individuals who become sick will likely have a milder illness
• No temporal pattern

Pertussis Vaccines• 5 doses of DTaP and 1 dose of Tdap
• Pregnant women should have a single dose of Tdapduring every pregnancy (27-36 weeks)
➢ In 2013, Texas started collecting information about Tdap in pregnant woman when investigating a case of pertussis in child <5 years of age.
• Estimates have the vaccine as an 80%-85% efficacy

Invasive Disease
• Invasive: When the bacteria invade parts of the body that are normally free from germs, like spinal fluid or blood, this is known as "invasive disease.“➢Invasive disease is usually severe and can
sometimes result in death

Haemophilus influenzae, Invasive (H. flu)
12/4/2017 35
H. flu Epidemiology
• Infectious Agent: Haemophilus influenzae (H.flu) a bacterium capable of causing a range of diseases including:
➢ Ear infections
➢ Cellulitis (soft tissue infection)
➢ Upper respiratory infections
➢ Pneumonia, and
➢ Serious invasive infections:
• Meningitis with potential brain damage and epiglottitis with airway obstruction
• Transmission: Respiratory droplets and discharge from the nose and/or throat of an infected/colonized person
12/4/2017 36
12/4/2017
19
H. flu Epidemiology cont’d
12/4/2017 37
• Incubation period: Hard to define➢ Many are asymptomatic ➢ If become ill usually within 10 days of
exposure• Communicability: Organism is present in
discharge from the nose or throat ➢ Communicability ends within 24 hours of
initiation of appropriate chemoprophylaxis ➢ Serotype b cases are probably most
infectious during the 3 days prior to onset of symptoms
• Despite its name, this bacterium has nothing to do with the influenza viruses
H. flu Invasive Clinical Illness
• All serotypes of Haemophilus influenzae can cause illness
• Invasive forms: ➢ Meningitis – brain swelling➢ Bacteremia – blood infection➢ Periorbital or other cellulitis – skin lesions➢ Septic arthritis – joint infection➢ Osteomyelitis – bone infection➢ Pericarditis – infection of the sac around the
heart➢ Pneumonia – lung infection➢ Epiglottitis – Swelling of the windpipe
• Non-invasive forms: ➢ Conjunctivitis, otitis media, or bronchitis
➢ Not reportable
12/4/2017 38
12/4/2017
20
H. flu Serotypes• At least 6 serotypes of H. flu
➢Designated a, b, c, d, e, f
➢Unencapsulated strains (nontypeable)
➢ In 2016 all serotypes became reportable
• Type b (Hib)
➢Cause of most severe illness
➢Only type preventable by vaccine
➢ Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is available for Hib on case-by-case basis
• Serotyping
➢ Performed at the DSHS laboratory
➢Recommended for all H. flu isolates from sterile sites
➢Required on isolates from children under 5 years old by Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §97.3(a) (4)

• Vaccines available in the US➢Conjugate/polysaccharide:
• Covers serotypes A, C, Y, and W• Recommended for 11-12 year olds • Booster recommended 5 years after (16-18 years
old)• Colleges require proof of conjugate vaccination
within 5 years before starting school
➢Serogroup B:• Covers serotype B only• Recommended for 10-23 year olds (preferably
16-18 years old)
• Recommended for certain groups of at increased risk for meningococcal disease

Case Study
• Original notification of a potential meningococcal case in Regional Health Department 6/5S on 4/20/2017
➢Culture returned a few days later resulting in culture-confirmed Neisseria meningitidis
➢Individual was not vaccinated
➢Individual started symptoms on 4/16/2017
▪ Attended a social gathering on 4/16/2017
Now… about this social event.

Bunnies on the Bayou
• Regional Health Department 6/5S worked alongside local health departments to identify high-risk contacts
➢Nine individuals were found to be high-risk and were given PEP
➢An Epi-X was sent out to other states, informing them of the potential exposure and to keep an eye out for meningococcal cases reporting attendance at this event
• No additional cases were reported

Mumps Epidemiology
• Infectious Agent: Mumps virus, a single-stranded RNA paramyxovirus
• Transmission: Respiratory droplets or direct contact with nasopharyngeal secretions
• Incubation period: Average is 16-18 days (range is 12-25 days)
• Communicability as early as 3 days before and up to 5 days after symptom onset
12/4/2017 65
Mumps Epidemiology cont’d
• Clinical Illness:
➢ Prodromal symptoms are non-specific and include myalgia, anorexia, malaise, headache, and low-grade fever that lasts 3-4 days
➢ Parotitis (inflammation or swelling of the parotid glands)
➢ 20% of cases are asymptomatic
➢ Most common complication is orchitis (50% of males)
• Temporal pattern
➢ Peak in cases in late winter and early spring

Issues with Mumps• Reporting — Increase in cases over the past year
are due to both increased awareness about mumps and higher prevalence of the virus
• Infection—Mumps virus is shed up to 3 days prior to symptom onset
➢ This makes it hard to assess 3rd dose effectiveness
• Vaccine is 88% effective at 2 doses
• No effective post-exposure prophylaxis
• Lab testing—PCR vs IgM
12/4/2017 81
3rd dose MMR in Outbreaks
• CDC guidelines for a 3rd dose in 2012:
1.>90% 2-dose vaccination coverage
2.Depends on the setting—schools and correctional facilities
3.High attack rates (> 5 cases per 1,000)
4.Ongoing transmission (> 2 weeks) (1)
• ACIP recommendation for 3rd dose campaigns in outbreak situations from October 2017

12/4/2017 82

Why the increase in mumps outbreaks?
• Outbreaks in high population density areas and high contact areas (i.e. universities, schools)
• Vaccine efficacy (88% 2-dose with a range of 66%-95%)
• Is there a waning of vaccine-induced immunity?1
➢Only suggestions as of right now
➢Does not explain geographic nature of mumps outbreaks
➢Oldest vaccinated cohorts not always the most affected
• Is immunity due to vaccination less effective on different mumps strains?
➢No evidence yet but length of time since vaccination may be a possibility1
