Clinical characteristics and prognosis of exchange transfusion in infants with severe pertussis
ET is an important treatment for improving the prognosis of infants with severe pertussis. Infants with severe pertussis who undergo ET have a higher peak WBC count, and those with concomitant pulmonary arterial hypertension, cardiac, renal, neurological dysfunction have a poorer prognosis. Early intervention and active treatment are necessary.
