Definición

  • Pertussis, commonly referred to as whooping cough, was first identified in 1578 by French physician Guillaume Baillou who described the disease, which affected mostly children, as an irritation of the lungs in which patients experienced high fevers, swelling, fatigue, vomiting, and upset stomachs. The disease was characterized by a “whooping” cough, and death often resulted from hemorrhages or asphyxiations brought on by excessive coughing or from the pneumonia and bronchitis that often accompanied the disease.
