An analysis of the risk factors for pertussis and the possible respiratory sequels was carried out in a sample of 499 children and adolescents aged 10-16 years from the general population in north-eastern France. 44 subjects (8.8%) had pertussis during childhood; and the sex ratio was 1 in these cases. Pertussis was significantly associated with a maternal history of respiratory disease, residence in a rural area and coal heating. In a multiple logistic regression model, a maternal history of respiratory disease was the only significant factor (p = 0.01), the number of siblings being of borderline significance (p = 0.06). No increase in respiratory symptoms or asthma prevalence was found in our subjects who had pertussis during childhood.
