GLOBAL Symposium on Pertussis and Polio.

Speciality: Infectious diseases

Description:

A warm welcome to all the medical professionals in this interesting symposium on pertussis and polio.

Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. It is characterized by severe coughing fits, often accompanied by a distinctive "whooping" sound when breathing in. Pertussis can be particularly dangerous for infants and young children, leading to complications such as pneumonia, seizures, and even death if left untreated. 

Polio, short for poliomyelitis, is a viral infection caused by the poliovirus, primarily transmitted through contaminated food, water, or direct contact with an infected person. While most cases of polio are asymptomatic or result in mild flu-like symptoms, some individuals may develop severe complications, including paralysis and even death.
