Updated: 8/6/2025

Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, primarily affects the respiratory system. It causes severe coughing fits that can lead to difficulty breathing, particularly in infants and young children. The bacteria responsible for pertussis infect the lining of the airways, leading to inflammation and increased mucus production. This results in the characteristic cough and other respiratory symptoms associated with the disease.
