The first descriptions of this disease are recent, from the 16<sup>th</sup> century. Soon after the discovery of the causal agent of the disease, the bacterium <em>Bordetella pertussis</em>, whole cell vaccines, composed of bacterial suspensions inactivated by heat, were developed and their use generalized. These vaccines could be very efficacious but are very difficult to produce and not well tolerated. Because of the characterization of the bacterial proteins involved in the pathogenicity of <em>Bordetella pertussis</em>, an other type of vaccine was developped. This new type is called acellular vaccine because composed of purified bacterial proteins. The generalization of the vaccination with whole-cell vaccines conducted to an important decrease of mortality and morbidity. However, thirty years after the introduction of the vaccination, a resurgence is observed in vaccinated countries. This resurgence is principally due to the short duration of vaccinal immunity and the lack of vaccinal or natural boosters. The disease affects now adolescents and adults who present an atypical cough which difficult to diagnose. These adolescents and adults contaminate non vaccinated new borns. Vaccinal boosters are necessary and are now possible with acellular vaccines since 1998. France was the first country to introduce a booster for adolescents at 11-13 years of age and a booster for young adults is under discussion. Nevertheless, surveillance of the disease is of great importance and must continue to analyse the consequences of such boosters which are introduced to reduce the transmission of the disease to infants too young to be vaccinated</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100441,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Pédiatrie","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 33-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcped.2003.08.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87191025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PH1 is an autosomal recessive disease due to an hepatic enzymatic defect <em>of alanine : glyoxylate aminotransferase</em> (AGT), resulting in oxalate overproduction. Because of the poor solubility of calcium oxalate in urine, the first symptom is usually a recurrent lithiasis, beginning in childhood. Associated nephrocalcinosis results almost always in terminal renal failure before the adult age, and oxalate crystals accumulate in many tissues, particularly bones. Liver transplantation, or more often combined liver-kidney transplantation, is the only curative treatment ; at an early stage, permanent urine dilution by hyperhydration may prevent nephrocalcinosis. Primary hyperoxaluria type 2, a much rarer disease due to a defect of <em>glyoxylate/hydroxypyruvate-reductase</em> (gr/HPR), is associated with L-glyceric aciduria.

According the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 9), the main causes of neonatal death in 1995 were congenital anomalies (27 % of deaths), and perinatal conditions (54 %), especially intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia (10 %), respiratory distress syndrome (8 %), and fetal and neonatal haemorrhage (6 %). Mortality can be used to assess medical care during the perinatal period if the risk factors of mortality are collected and taken into account in the analysis. The main factors are : gestational age, birth weight, and the number of newborns (singletons, twins, triplets, …).The trend towards a more active approach of care during pregnancy, delivery and the first days of life has various consequences on mortality. Consequently it is necessary to follow some recommendations in medical assessment. Definitions of births and deaths should include very preterm births (≥ 22 weeks) and very small fetus or infants (≥ 500 grams), and rates of mortality should be measured for extended perinatal mortality or fetal and infant mortality, after excluding deaths attributed to congenital anomalies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100441,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Pédiatrie","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 97-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcped.2003.09.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86062530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
