dry . The infectious stage. Antibiotic treatment at this stage
can severity of stage 2. Contacts should also be .
• Stage 2 - ( weeks) short burst of extreme paroxysmal coughing
(accumulation of ), vomiting, feeling of , “whooping”
between coughing fits. Still infectious, and symptoms between
paroxysms. Treatment here will not effect the disease but reduces .
• Stage 3 - ( weeks - months) recovery, cough less often.

Prevention:
- Vaccine available since 1945, on NZ immunisation schedule since 1960, i.m. injection
- Moved from a cell-based vaccine to an pertussis vaccine in
the 1990s – less but less effective. Boosters are required & funded.
- It is recommended, but not funded that contacts & carers of get boosters.

Antigenic ( drift, shift ) of the influenza virus causes seasonal variants.
It occurs to overcome the ( antibodies, antigens ) blocking the H glycoproteins ability to bind to ( cells, viruses ). It is a ( mutation, copy ) of the H epitopes so that the antibody ( cannot, can ) bind and the virus may bind to the cell instead.

Antigenic ( shift, drift ) of the influenza virus causes epidemic/pandemic variants.
It occurs when two viral strains exchange ( RNA, DNA ) segments in a ( secondary, primary ) host and a ( novel/new, defective ) H is formed.

Treatment for influenza is typically relief of fever and pain with meds.

We can also use:
1. Inhibitors (Cyclic Amines or Adamantanes) - amantadine, rimantadine: Inhibit viral , which is symptomatic relief. Does not stop viral . Has systemic and is associated with rapid induction of viruses.
2. inhibitors eg oseltamivir (Tamiflu) & zanamivir (Relenza): medicine in NZ. Symptomatic relief via of viral shedding, which reduces the . May stop protective response developing. Has toxicities (especially ), and will induce viral resistance (especially ). There is evidence that it may reduce mortality, hospitalisation and duration of symptoms, compared with no treatment.
