| Abstract: |
The underestimation of the pertussis burden prompted our study to investigate the prevalence of recent pertussis infection, its associated factors, and antibody titer changes in the same individuals in Vietnam. Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Nha Trang in 2017 and Quang Ngai in 2019, representing high- and low-vaccine-coverage areas, respectively. Serum anti-pertussis toxin immunoglobulin-G (anti-PT IgG) ≥ 62.5 IU/mL by ELISA indicated infection in the previous 12 months. In Nha Trang, the participants of the 2017 survey were followed up in 2019. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratios for the characteristics associated with anti-PT IgG ≥ 62.5. The age-stratified prevalence in patients aged >2 years ranged from 2.1% (age 26–35) to 9.6% (3–5) in Nha Trang (2017) and from 7.2% (age 26–35) to 11.4% (6–15) in Quang Ngai. The prevalence tended to be higher in Quang Ngai across all age groups. Cough, recent antibiotic use, and smoking in Nha Trang were positively associated with an anti-PT IgG of ≥62.5, and having been diagnosed with pertussis and persistent cough with paroxysms/whoop in Quang Ngai were positively associated with an anti-PT IgG of ≥62.5. No nasopharyngeal swabs were positive for Bordetella pertussis using real-time PCR. The geometric mean of the IgG titer ratio from 2019 to 2017 was 1.45 in the paired samples. This study emphasizes Bordetella pertussis circulation across all age groups in both low- and high-vaccine-coverage settings in Vietnam, underscoring the need for continuous and standardized surveillance for a comprehensive understanding of its epidemiology.
