What is Pertussis in Infants: Symptoms & Diagnosis about?

Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory illness that spreads through respiratory droplets. It presents differently in infants versus older children and adults. Infants may experience apnea, seizures, respiratory distress, and death from the disease. Treatment involves supportive care and antibiotics to shorten symptoms and reduce transmission. Antibiotics work best if started early in the illness. Vaccination and prophylaxis of close contacts are important prevention strategies.
