Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
Pertussis (whooping cough) is a respiratory tract infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. This disease can cause severe and continuous coughing, especially during bouts of intense coughing. After a series of coughs, there is often a deep inhalation, which may produce a “whooping” sound or gasping for air.
