Seroepidemiological Assessment of <i>Bordetella pertussis</i> in Jahrom, Southern Iran: A Cross‐Sectional Study
This study highlights the occurrence of pertussis in individuals presenting solely with a persistent cough, absent of classic symptoms. The findings emphasize the need for healthcare providers to conduct detailed assessments and utilize rapid diagnostic methods for timely detection. This is particularly crucial in regions with high vaccination rates but limited awareness of pertussis recurrence.
