Abstract

Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by “Bordetella pertussis”, particularly severe in infants under one year. This article explores its clinical course, from initial mild symptoms to serious complications like apnea and pneumonia. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and laboratory tests, while management includes supportive care, antibiotics, and vaccination. Early intervention is crucial to mitigate severe outcomes, highlighting the need for high vaccination coverage to protect this vulnerable age group.
