Pertussis is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. This disease has 3 stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal, and convalescent.
Bordetella pertussis is the highly contagious etiological agent of pertussis or whooping cough. Bordetella parapertussis causes a similar, but generally less severe illness. Despite vaccination efforts, Bordetella pertussis remains common in the United States, underscoring the need for effective diagnostic tests. In the United States, pertussis is most common in the late summer months.
