Pertussis is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. This disease has 3 stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal, and convalescent.
During its early stages misdiagnosis is common, because the signs and symptoms of early stage whooping cough are similar to those found in other respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, the flu and the common cold.hooping cough symptoms usually appear between six to twenty days after the Bordetella pertussis bacterium has infected the patient, in other words, pertussis has 6-to-20 day incubation period. The illness starts off with mild symptoms, which then get much worse before improving.
