About Whooping Cough (Pertussis)
Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. In many people, it is marked by a severe hacking cough followed by a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like a "whoop." While it was once considered a childhood disease, it now primarily affects children too young to have completed vaccinations and adults whose immunity has faded.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Runny nose and nasal congestion
- Red, watery eyes
- Fever
- A cough that may become severe over time
For a full list of clinical signs, you can visit the CDC website for Pertussis Signs and Symptoms.
