Rates of Reported Pertussis In the prevaccine era in the United States, the average yearly rate of reported pertussis was per population [ 14 ]. Deaths Due to Pertussis In the prevaccine era, deaths due to pertussis were noted in children of all ages and also in adults [ 14 , 25 ]. Source of Pertussis in Infants Studies done in the whole-cell vaccine era indicated that the source of infection in an infant was usually an adult family member with a cough illness that was not recognized as pertussis [ 14 , 15 , 21 , 26 — 28 ].

Whooping cough and unrecognised postperinatal mortality. Pertussis is a very contagious disease caused by a bacterium that affects the lungs and airways. It spreads by coughing or sneezing.
The first symptoms of pertussis are similar to a cold: sneezing, a runny nose, possibly a slight fever, and a cough. After one or two weeks, the cough becomes more severe. The coughing fits usually last from one to six weeks, but can go on for 10 weeks or more. Health care providers should consider pertussis as a diagnosis in patients with a persistent cough illness and check vaccination history at each visit.
