Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification assays for rapid detection of West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis viruses.

abstract：:Bordetella pertussis was transmitted from an immunized boy to his father and possibly to other family members. This case report demonstrates that although unusual, acute adult B. pertussis infection can occur. B. pertussis immunization may not prevent infection but can reduce the severity. B. pertussis was detected in...
