ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of azithromycin prophylaxis with respect to tolerability and compliance during a pertussis outbreak among healthcare workers in a university hospital ward. Compliance with the prophylaxis regimen was 89%; compliance was 75% from intent-to-treat perspective. The rate of adverse events was 33%. Female sex was associated with reporting of adverse events. Nonstudents and healthcare workers who reported adverse events were less compliant with the prophylaxis regimen.
