another word for pertussis is whooping cough ( or ), is a highly contagious bacterial disease caused by Bordetella pertussis . Symptoms are initially mild, and then develop into severe coughing fits, which produce the namesake high-pitched "whoop" sound in infected babies and children when they inhale air after coughing.[1] The coughing stage lasts for approximately six weeks before subsiding. In some countries, this disease is called the 100 days' cough or cough of 100 days.[2]
Prevention via vaccination is of primary importance as treatment is of little clinical benefit to the person infected.[3] Antibiotics, however, do decrease the duration of infectiousness and are thus recommended.[3] The disease currently affects 48.5 million people yearly, resulting in nearly 295,000 deaths.
