Class antibody responses to pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and agglutinogens 2 and 3 (Agg 2/3) were studied in 114 patients with pertussis, 49 family contacts of patients with pertussis, and 139 infants attending vaccination clinics. IgG resposes to FHA and PT were similar in patients with pertussis and in infants immunized three times with whole-cell pertussis vaccine. IgA responses to FHA an PT were greater in patients with pertussis than in vaccinees, and a serum log10 titer of IgA to PT > 1.9 was a usefuldiscriminant of Bordetella pertussis infection. When compared with patients with pertussis vaccinees had a greater IgG response to Agg 2/3 and an equivalent IgA response to Agg 2/3. Serologic responses to FHA, PT, and Agg 2/3 were common in family contacts but were smaller than the responses in patients with pertussis. Initial titers of IgG to FHA and IgA to FHA were significantly higher (P < .005 and P < .05, respectively) in family contacts aged 3-10 y than in patients with pertussis in an identical age group.
