Abstract

Two neonates with severe culture proven pertussis were successfully treated with salbutamol 0.5 mg three times daily. There was a demonstrable decrease in the total number of coughing spasms, their mean duration and severity. In one baby this was shown by the transcutaneous oxygen tension measurements.
