Abstract：Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Despite the high vaccination coverage, re-emergence of pertussis has been reported in many countries over the past two decades. With the increase in the incidence of pertussis, there has been a shift in the epidemiological features:an increased incidence of pertussis has been noted in older children and adults, who normally lack typical clinical manifestations, and who may be easily missed according to current diagnostic references for pertussis. In order to achieve better prevention and treatment of pertussis, this review article summarized the recent research progress in the epidemiology, clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pertussis, particularly focusing on the diagnosis of pertussis in older children and adults.
