Overview
Pertussis was recognizably described as early as 1578 by Guillaume de Baillou (1538-1616), but earlier reports date back at least to the 12th century.[1] B. pertussis was isolated in pure culture in 1906 by Jules Bordet and Octave Gengou, who also developed the first serology and vaccine. The complete B. pertussis genome of 4,086,186 base pairs was sequenced in 2002.
Discovery
- The earliest evidence of people displaying symptoms of Pertussis occurred during the Middle Ages, described as "the kink" or "the kindhoest" in Scotland to indicate a cough or fit.[2]
- Pertussis was officially recognized by French physician Guillaume de Baillou in 1578 during its first recognized outbreak in Paris.[2].
