Whooping cough can affect people of any age, but it is most dangerous for babies and pregnant women.
But what causes the disease and how can we protect ourselves? Pertussis is a drop-borne, infectious respiratory infection that is most commonly spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The disease is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, against which the main means of protection is full immunisation, i.e. vaccination. In Hungary, the pertussis vaccine is given to children as part of a compulsory combined vaccination (DTPa, IPV, Hib) in infancy. In addition to vaccination, by following basic hygiene rules, frequent hand washing and the proper use of disinfectants, you can do a lot to prevent the further spread of bacteria, viruses and fungi. The following antibacterial disinfectants are recommended to prevent the further spread of whooping cough:
- Surface disinfection: Brado club universal surface disinfectant Bradolife disinfectant wipes with alcohol 64 pcs/100 pcs/25 pcs/5 pcs Bradolife surface disinfectant Bradosept alcoholic surface disinfectant
- Hand disinfection: Bradolife disinfectant liquid soap Bradolife hand disinfectant gel Bradolife hand and skin disinfectant Bradonett disinfectant liquid soap Bradoplus hand and skin disinfectant Coughing and sneezing releases pathogens into the atmosphere.
