| pertussis-like syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome characterised by severe episodes of coughing resembling whooping cough (pertussis). (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| pertussis syndrome | <infectious disease> An acute, highly contagious infection of the respiratory tract, most frequently affecting young children, usually caused by Bordetella pertussis, a similar illness has been associated with infection by B. Parapertussis and B. Bronchiseptica. It is characterised by a catarrhal stage, beginning after an incubation period of about two weeks, with slight fever, sneesing, running at the nose and a dry cough. In a week or two the paroxysmal stage begins, with the characteristic paroxysmal cough, consisting of a deep inspiration, followed by a series of quick, short coughs, continuing until the air is expelled from the lungs, the close of the paroxysm is marked by a long drawn, shrill, whooping inspiration, due to spasmodic closure of the glottis. This stage lasts three to four weeks, after which the convalescent stage begins, in which paroxysms grow less frequent and less violent and finally cease. Synonym: whooping cough. Origin: L. Tussis = cough (18 Nov 1997) |
| pertussis toxin | <protein> Protein complex (ca 117 kD). An A B toxin, the active subunit is a single polypeptide 28 kD), the binding subunit a pentamer (two heterodimers, 23 + 11.7 kD, 11.7 + 22 kD and a monomer (9.3 kD) that binds the heterodimers). The active subunit ADP ribosylates the _ subunit of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein (Gi). Crucial to the pathogenicity of Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pertussis toxins | <chemical> Any of various biologically active proteins or toxins elaborated by bordetella pertussis that cause the symptoms of whooping cough. Some activate pancreatic islets, others inhibit the adenylate cyclase cascade and some cause lymphocytosis. Chemical name: Toxins, pertussis (12 Dec 1998) |
| pertussis vaccine | A suspension of killed bordetella pertussis organisms, used for immunization against pertussis (whooping cough). It is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (dtp). There is an acellular pertussis vaccine prepared from the purified antigenic components of bordetella pertussis, which causes fewer adverse reactions than whole-cell vaccine and, like the whole-cell vaccine, is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine | A vaccine consisting of diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and pertussis vaccine. It is usually given to infants three times at two-month intervals, generally at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. The vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. In most cases the vaccine causes only a temporary fever and discomfort, but in a few cases serious neurological side effects have been observed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rabies immune globulin | Globulin fraction of pooled plasma of high anti-rabies virus titre from immunised persons. Synonym: rabies immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| measles immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's derived from the blood plasma of normal adult human donors; it is prepared from immune serum globulin that complies with the measles antibody reference standard; a passive immunizing agent. Synonym: measles immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular immune theory | A concept, put forth by Elie Metchnikoff, that cells, not antibodies, were responsible for the immune response of an organism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rho(d) immune globulin | Immunizing agent containing IgG anti-rho(d) used for preventing rh immunization in rh-negative individuals exposed to rh-positive red blood cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chickenpox immune globulin | Globulin fraction of serum from persons recently recovered from herpes zoster infection; used to prevent infection of high-risk children. Synonym: chickenpox immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliomyelitis immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's that contains those antibodies normally present in adult human blood; it is a passive immunologic agent that attenuates or prevents poliomyelitis, measles, and infectious hepatitis, and confers temporary but significant protection against paralytic polio. Synonym: poliomyelitis immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary immune response | <immunology> The immune response to the first challenge by a particular antigen. Usually less extensive than the secondary immune response, being slower and shorter lived with smaller amounts of lower affinity antibody being produced. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hemic and immune systems | The organs involved in the production and functions of the blood and the cellular and molecular components providing defense against foreign organisms or substances. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secondary immune response | The response of the immune system to the second or subsequent occasion on which it encounters a specific antigen. (18 Nov 1997) |
