What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on the surveillance of whooping cough (pertussis) in children under 18 years old in France, particularly those vaccinated with acellular vaccines. It aims to assess the duration of protection provided by these vaccines and to analyze clinical characteristics of vaccinated children. The study involves collecting data during initial visits when pertussis is suspected and during follow-up visits to monitor outcomes and laboratory results. It also includes training for laboratories on diagnostic procedures and monitoring infections caused by related bacteria.
