RESUMEN
La tos ferina es una enfermedad infecciosa, desconocida durante siglos, a la que no se hace referencia en la Grecia clásica y en Roma, habiéndose realizado su primera descripción en el s. XVI. En los últimos años, se ha observado un incremento en el número de casos, incluso en países que han logrado buenas en lactantes, especialmente en aquellos que no han iniciado o completado la primovacunación, ocupando de acuerdo con la OMS, el quinto lugar entre las causas de muerte prevenibles por vacuna. Aunque se dispone de una profilaxis eficaz desde hace más de medio siglo, no se ha logrado aún el control de la enfermedad, por lo que se han propuesto algunas estrategias, como la vacunación de adolescentes y adultos, de la embarazada y de los contactos del lactante, con el fin contribuir a mejorar el control de la misma
ABSTRACT
The whooping cough is an infectious disease. Unknown for centuries, there are no references of this disease in classic Greece nor in Rome, and its first description appears only in the WVI century. There has been an increase in the number of cases in the latter years, even in countries with good vaccine - coverage. This disease presents a high mortality rate in infants, especially in those that have not started or completed primal vaccination. According to WHO, this disease is fifth among the different causes of death that could be prevented by the use of the vaccine. In spite of having and efficient prophylaxis for oven fifty years, control of the disease has not been yet achieved. For this reason, some strategies have been proposed such as vaccination of adolescents and adults, pregnant women, and those in contact with infants so that these may contribute to the control of the disease
