Full textBackground: There are between 20 - 40 million cases of whooping cough annually world-wide, 90% of which occur in developing countries, resulting in an estimated 200 - 300 O00 fatalities each year. Much of the morbidity is due to the paroxysmal cough. Corticosteroids, salbutamol (a β₂- adrenergic stimulant), and pertussis-specific immunoglobulin have been proposed as standard treatment for the cough. Antihistamines have also been administered. No systematic review of the effectiveness of any of these interventions or others has been performed. Objective: in this systematic review we aim to assess the effectiveness of interventions used to reduce the severity of the coughing paroxysms in whooping cough in children and adults. Selection criteria: Randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of any intervention that reduced the severity of the coughing paroxysms in whooping cough; excluding antibiotics and vaccines. Study selection: All interventions aimed at reducing the severity of the coughing paroxysms in children or adults with whooping cough with any of the following outcome measures met inclusion criteria for the review; i) frequency of paroxysms of coughing (primary outcome), ii) frequency of vomiting, iii) frequency of whoop, iv) frequency of cyanotic spells, v) development of serious complications, vi) mortality from any cause, vii) side effects due to medication, viii) admission to hospital, and ix) duration of hospital stay. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Controlled Trials register, Acute Respiratory infectious Disease Group Specialised Trials register, MEDLINE, LILACS, scanned reference lists of identified trials, contacted authors of identified trials and the relevant pharmaceutical companies. Data collection and analysis: Studies were selected, quality assessed and data extracted by two reviewers independently. Results: Nine studies satisfied the inclusion criteria but four had insufficient data for further meta-analysis of our pre-specified outcomes. Studies were old and poorly reported. The largest study had a total sample size of 49 and the smallest study nine. All studies were performed in industrialised settings. Eligible studies assessed diphenhyramine, pertussis immunoglobulin, dexamethasone and salbutamol. No statistically significant benefit was found for any of the interventions. Diphenhydramine was associated with a mean increase of 1.90 coughing spells per 24 hours [95%Cl - 4.66; 8.46] and pertussis immunoglobulin a mean decrease in hospital stay of 0.70 days [95% Cl -3.79; 2.39]. and a mean reduction of 3.10 whoops per 24 hours [95% CI - 6.22; 0.02]. Dexamethasone resulted in a mean decrease in hospital stay of 3.45 days [95% Cl - 15.34; 8.44] and salbutamol in a weighted mean decrease in coughing paroxysms of 0.95 per 24 hours [95% Cl - 6.21; 4.31]. Reviewers' conclusion: Although assessments have been performed on a whole range of interventions, including diphenhyramine, pertussis immunoglobulin, dexamethasone and salbutamol, insufficient evidence exists to draw conclusions about the effects of any of them.

Full textWidespread reports have long existed of a debilitating cough affecting visitors to high altitude that can incapacitate the sufferer and, on occasions, be severe enough to cause rib fractures (22, 34, 35). The prevalence of cough at altitude has been estimated to be between 22 and 42% at between 4200 and 4900 m in the Everest region of Nepal (10, 29). Traditionally the cough was attributed to the inspiration of the cold, dry air characteristic of the high altitude environment (37) but no attempts were made to confirm this aetiology. In the first formal study of cough at high altitude, nocturnal cough frequency was found to increase with increasing altitude during a trek to Everest Base Camp (5300 m) and massively so in 3 climbers on whom recordings were made up to 7000 m on Everest (8). After 9 days at 5300 m the citric acid cough threshold, a measure of the sensitivity of the cough reflex arc, was significantly reduced compared with both sea level and arrival at 5300 m.
During Operation Everest II, a simulated climb of Mount Everest in a hypobaric chamber, the majority of the subjects were troubled above 7000 m by pain and dryness in the throat and an irritating cough despite the chamber being maintained at a relative humidity of between 72 and 82% and a temperature of 23ºC (18). This argued against the widely held view that altitude-related cough was due to the inspiration of cold, dry air.
In the next major hypobaric chamber study, Operation Everest III, nocturnal cough frequency and citric acid cough threshold were measured on the 8 subjects in the study. The chamber temperature was maintained between 18 and 24ºC and relative humidity between 30 and 60% (24). This work is presented in Chapter 2 and, demonstrated an increase in nocturnal cough frequency with increasing altitude which immediately returned to control values on descent to sea level. Citric acid cough threshold was reduced at 8000 m compared to both sea level and 5000 m values. Changes in citric acid cough threshold at lower altitudes may not have been detected because of the constraints on subject numbers in the chamber. The study still however demonstrated an increase in clinical cough and a reduction in the citric acid cough threshold at extreme altitude, despite controlled environmental conditions, and thus refuted the long held belief that altitude-related cough is solely due to the inspiration of cold, dry air.
If altitude-related cough is not simply due to the inspiration of cold, dry air, other possible aetiologies are:
