Talk:Whooping cough: Difference between revisions

{{Vital article|level=4|topic=Biology|class=B}}

{{WPMED|class=B|importance=High|translation=yes|translation-imp=high}}

==Infectivity==

What about fitting in some words about how and at what clinical stages pertussis can be transmitted? AFAIK the catarrhal and paroxysmal stages are infective. Regards, -- [[User:Paunaro|Paunaro]] ([[User talk:Paunaro|talk]]) 12:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

== posttussive emesis? ==

This article should be revised to be accessible to ordinary readers. Medical jargon like "posttussive emesis" should be avoided, or at least explained immediately. It doesn't matter if a slight reduction of precision results, since Wikipedia is not supposed to be a medical textbook. See [[WP:MEDMOS]] for a clear description of the relevant guidelines. [[User:Astarabadi|Astarabadi]] ([[User talk:Astarabadi|talk]]) 11:26, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

:Would adding a link to [[vomiting|emesis]] be acceptable? I don't see anything in [[WP:MEDMOS]] advising this as a remedy- though it seems reasonable to me. Revert/fix if you think better. --[[User:Raduga|Raduga]] ([[User talk:Raduga|talk]]) 17:03, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

== Section Society and Culture is biased ==

This section is obviously slated in favor of the position of the medical hierarchy and against anyone who questions them. Loaded adjectives such as "unscientific" have no place in a neutral encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Doctors and public health officals do not have a monopoly on the truth, and they certainly are not infallible. This section adopts the medical establishment's tactics of belittling, marginalising and dismissing victims of vacination injury. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/70.109.188.107|70.109.188.107]] ([[User talk:70.109.188.107|talk]]) 08:19, 8 December 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

The problem is that most people who claim *vaccine injury* are not injured by vaccines but by other causes. The true numbers are much lower than what the anti-vaccinationists claim. It isn't the *medical hierarchy* against you, but basic science. You can have your own feelings, but you can't have your own facts. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.108.136.102|71.108.136.102]] ([[User talk:71.108.136.102|talk]]) 06:08, 31 May 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Acellular vaccine is "safer"? ==

I changed the wording in last sentence in the "Society and Culture" section. In 2009 the wording was changed by an IP user ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pertussis&diff=prev&oldid=284735833 difference]) so the word "safe" became "safer." The study cited does ''not'' make this claim. It clearly states "overall safety profile ''similar'' to that of a licensed Td vaccine" (emphasis mine). Also, it is important to note that the study did ''not'' compare DTaP to DTP. The previous wording vaguely suggested that it was a DTaP/DTP study but did not say so explicitly. --[[User:Officiallyover|Officiallyover]] ([[User talk:Officiallyover|talk]]) 16:34, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

== I think I have something to contribute ==

It would appear that I am one of the few people competent to talk about clinical whooping cough, which is what interests most people. I am referenced in the main article on pertussis as number 2, where there is a link to my website on whooping cough for lay people. The same site also has some of the raw data of the study that I have made in a village community in England since 1977. I have studied a total of 730 cases at the last count. All are thoroughly documented, and there are numerous publications. There are sound files there of whooping cough that I am willing to share with Wikipedia, and if it were thought appropriate a paragraph of the findings of the still ongoing Keyworth Study might be useful. The study, by myself, a family doctor, shows the true characteristics and incidence in various ages over the years. The main observation I can make at the present time is that the current upsurge in cases that has caused so much concern, is possibly mostly due to the ability of adults (who are the main group to get it numerically) to diagnose themselves on my website (www.whoopingcough.net), and the availability of a quite recently developed blood test that can now confirm it easily. Adults are diagnosing themselves, demanding a blood test, finding it positive, and consequently raising the doctor's awareness of the disease in adults and the means of testing for it.

Nevertheless, this late realisation that adults get it, and are possibly now the main source of infection for their infants, who have a high mortality rate (1-2%), has focussed attention on ways of reducing the relatively high incidence in infants too young to be immunised. The USA has taken a lead on this and recommends a 10 yearly booster for adults with TdaP. This has yet to happen in the UK where this study is conducted, and whose findings are bound to differ quantitatively from other countries

''Epidemiology and Infection'' journal published the following in February 2013: "Pertussis or whooping cough has persisted and resurged in the face of vaccination and has become '''one of the most prevalent vaccine-preventable diseases in Western countries'''." Wikipedia editor [[User:Tobus]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pertussis&diff=prev&oldid=571506897 added] the following here: "...pertussis has persisted in vaccinated populations and is today '''one of the most prevalent vaccine-preventable diseases in Western countries'''." I have notified the editor that I would make this report. - [[Special:Contributions/50.153.113.5|50.153.113.5]] ([[User talk:50.153.113.5|talk]]) 14:44, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

:My apologies, this was inadvertent and thanks for pointing it out.

==Folk remedies section==

{{merged-from|Mythology Concerning Whooping Cough|3 June 2014}}

I'm not especially pleased with where the old article is now placed in this one as the new "Folk remdies" section, but the merger needed doing. The section, like the original article, still needs references, though. [[User:Scrawlspacer|Scrawlspacer]] ([[User talk:Scrawlspacer|talk]]) 22:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Maybe it just should have been removed altogether, as it doesn't really bring anything useful or interesting to the article. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/128.39.148.70|128.39.148.70]] ([[User talk:128.39.148.70|talk]]) 16:58, 10 June 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:You edits broke some refs [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pertussis&oldid=659018683], caused improper formatting, added some no wiki tags, added " that were not needed. There was no justification for the edit in the edit summary. [[User:Doc James|<span style="color:#0000f1">'''Doc James'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Doc James|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Doc James|contribs]] · [[Special:EmailUser/Doc James|email]]) 07:27, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

::Thanks for the comments. Looks like VE put in some junk. I made the edit again, without the noise. FWIW, I've never seen refs converted to comments as in this article. Don't understand the purpose.

:::I have restored the lead back to 4 paragraphs per [[WP:LEAD]]. You changed it to 6.

:::Every sentence in the lead contains a reference. Otherwise people will come and add "citation needed" tags. If two sentences in a row are supported by the same ref than the ref supporting the first sentence is hidden.

:::Many of your changes go against [[WP:MEDMOS]].

:::Also our leads are being written to follow the body of the text per WP:MEDMOS, thus the ordering of content in the lead [[User:Doc James|<span style="color:#0000f1">'''Doc James'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Doc James|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Doc James|contribs]] · [[Special:EmailUser/Doc James|email]]) 15:03, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

::::I reviewed the section of WP:MOS and think I didn't really stray, so I'd appreciate if you could be more specific. I'm always happy to fix any problems I cause.

== Revisions and edits ==

The sentence "For most adults and adolescents, who often do not seek medical care until several weeks into their illness, serology may be used to determine whether antibody against pertussis toxin or another component of B. pertussis is present at high levels in the blood of the person." had no citation and seemed to plagiarize this article http://www.eurodiagnostica.com/index.php?headId=4&pageId=4&langId=1&diseaseId=8#nr2-tab , so I cited it and changed up the wording. [[User:ChaKeSeLiAl|ChaKeSeLiAl]] ([[User talk:ChaKeSeLiAl|talk]]) 01:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

==Cough syrup/lozenges==

Given that the article states that whooping cough is more prevalent in the developed world, I think it might be worth discussing the effectiveness - or lack thereof - of common cough remedies that most people in Canada, US, etc might turn to in lieu of seeing a doctor or getting any other remedy. Are cough syrups such as Buckley's (I mention that one as it's supposed to be the strongest non-prescription remedy) at all effective or are they perhaps even dangerous?

Goals:

1. Addition of global statistics of pertussis outbreaks

2. Addition of the difference between clinical presentation of pertussis in "Signs and Symptoms" portion.

3. Find information regarding the use of counter medication such as cough suppressants/lozenges with whooping cough in "Treatment"

== Foundations 2 2019, Group 3B Peer Review ==

Respond to peer review prompts on the ARTICLE talk page, following the statement made the group about its planned edits.

1. All group members should respond to the following prompts, with specific examples:

''· Do the group’s edits improve the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review “Guiding framework”?''

-- Yes, Kim's addition of statistics about India and other countries helps to add validity and expands on the gravity and prevalence of whooping cough in the world despite the fact that there is an existing vaccine. --[[User:Dannymrowr|Dannymrowr]] ([[User talk:Dannymrowr|talk]]) 20:44, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

-- The group's edits improve the article by providing more recent and accurate information about the prevalence of whooping cough in several countries.--[[User:Mparagas18|Mparagas18]] ([[User talk:Mparagas18|talk]]) 21:29, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

-- Improved article by adding in statistics for Germany, China, and India from a reliable secondary source. Language is neutral and edits are balanced with respect to the overall structure of the article. --[[User:Alexuang|Alexuang]] ([[User talk:Alexuang|talk]]) 16:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

''· Has the group achieved its overall goals for improvement? ''

-- Yes, I believe group 3c's goal of adding statistics to the page was achieved --[[User:Dannymrowr|Dannymrowr]] ([[User talk:Dannymrowr|talk]]) 20:47, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

-- Yes, the group achieved their goal of adding accurate, relevant statistics about whooping cough prevalence.--[[User:Mparagas18|Mparagas18]] ([[User talk:Mparagas18|talk]]) 21:29, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

-- Global statistics added in for three countries. U.S. statistics already present in the article. Treatment section only contains information on prescription medications. --[[User:Alexuang|Alexuang]] ([[User talk:Alexuang|talk]]) 16:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
