百日咳典型表现中英文描述的比较和（类）百日咳综合征诊断的建议

A comparative analysis of the Chinese and English descriptions of typical pertussis manifestations and recommendations for the diagnosis of pertussis-like or pertussis syndrome

摘要:

百日咳（pertussis或whooping cough）这个疾病的中英文名称分别从病程和咳嗽性状两个不同侧面概括了疾病的重要临床特征。在典型百日咳临床描述方面，中英文用词意义不完全一致，如痉挛性咳嗽与paroxysmal cough、痉咳期与paroxysmal stage/phase、“回勾”与whoop等，有的英文描述在中文描述中还没有出现。该文拟通过比较中英文对典型百日咳临床表现的描述差异，为临床认识百日咳提供更为全面的信息，并对建立在典型百日咳临床表现基础上的（类）百日咳综合征的诊断提出建议，以促进临床规范诊疗。

Abstract:

The Chinese and English names of pertussis or whooping cough show the important clinical features of the disease in terms of its course and cough characteristics respectively. In the clinical description of typical pertussis, the meanings of the Chinese and English words are not completely consistent, such as spastic cough versus paroxysmal cough, spasmodic stage/phase versus paroxysmal stage/phase, and "back-hook" versus whoop, and some descriptions in English are not seen in Chinese. This article aims to provide more comprehensive information for the understanding of pertussis by comparing the descriptions of typical clinical manifestations of pertussis in Chinese and English literatures and to put forward suggestions for the diagnosis of pertussis syndrome based on typical clinical manifestations.
