Abstract

The bacterium Bodetella pertussis constitutes the etiological agent of whooping cough,

acute disease of the upper respiratory tract that mainly affects children

small, and that has been controlled through the use of cellular vaccines.1 However,

the frequent induction of adverse reactions, which can be from affectations

local injection site such as inflammation, pain, even encephalopathies,

bleeding disorders, seizures; has continuously reduced acceptance

of these vaccines.2
