What is Stages and Management of Whooping Cough about?

Whooping cough is caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. It causes a severe cough that often produces a "whooping" sound. The disease progresses through catarrhal, paroxysmal, and convalescent stages. It is highly contagious and can cause serious complications in infants. Treatment involves antibiotics and supportive care. Vaccination provides the best prevention through the DTaP and Tdap vaccines. Immunity from the vaccines wears off over time so booster shots are recommended.
