d severe pertussis in young infants. Methods: Infants ≤6 months of age, diagnosed with pertussis (determined by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes and microbiology records) at 4 hospitals, and born at times when only postpartum women (January 2008 through May 2009) and all infant contacts (June 2009 through August 2011) were offered tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine at Ben Taub General Hospital were compared with infants born preintervention (May 2004 through December 2007). Results: One hundred ninety-six (49%) infants with pertussis were born preintervention, 140 (35%) during maternal postpartum (PP) and 64 (16%) during cocooning (C) periods. Infants were similar in age at diagnosis (81.2 vs. 71.3 [PP] vs. 72.5 [C] days; P 0.07), sex (male 59% vs. 51% [PP] vs. 48% [C]; P 0.17), hospitalization (68% vs. 71% [PP] vs. 78% [C]; P 0.27) and outcome (2 deaths in the PP period; P 0.15), but more were admitted to intensive care units during cocooning (24% vs.…
