<br/><br/> "Although studies have shown that pertussis is responsible for approximately 20% to 30% of cases of cough lasting more than 2 weeks in adults and adolescents, physicians have generally considered pertussis a disease that affects only children. Epidemiologic trends demonstrate that the incidence of pertussis has been rising, especially in adolescents and adults." (ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE) This article examines the increase in cases of whooping cough in adolescents and adults in recent years.
