There have been 3 infant pertussis deaths in Kentucky alone this year.
I had a case of pertussis in my practice in an un-immunized teenager. Don’t know how many people exposed in the middle school or if an infant was exposed. Did have a complaint 3 weeks later that still coughing which is normal and may continue for weeks. In my residency in the late 70’s had a 18 month old with pertussis who had to be ventilated since we could not get enough oxygen in with blow by. This is a dangerous disease that is highly preventable!
