The 2001 serological survey in the Czech Republic - Parapertussis
- Charles University in Prague, 3rd Medical Faculty, Prague, Czech Republic
The results of the 2001 serological survey of antibodies against parapertussis confirmed a relatively high immunity rate of the Czech population. Prevalence of positive titers of antibodies can reach 60% in children 10 years old and ranges from 40 to 60% in the adult population. A rapid increase of immunity rate of the population suggests a high circulation of B. parapertussis in the population.
