Whooping Cough (which is also known as Pertussis) is a respiratory infection caused by a gram negative bacteria known as Bordetella pertussis.

Pretty neat that multiple diseases have the “para” subtypes of sorts, Typhoid also has this in Paratyphoid, I recently did a presentation project for both for one of my classes, very nice video :]

Wonderful channel. Thank you for getting to the point instead of having an unnecessary intro and begging for likes.

This is an awesome video. Thank you so much JJMedicine! I want to ask: is the "high pitched whistling sound" with a cough part of this whopping cough? Or something totally different?

I got it when I was 5 weeks old.

I got it for the first time when I was 5, despite being vaccinated for it, and have had a chronic cough my entire life. I have asthma. I have chronic bronchitis. I get the majority of the main symptoms of pertussis about half the time I get sick - if not more. I'm starting to wonder if I haven't had pertussis more than once and it's gone ignored this whole time.

Why is no one talking about Dr Suzanne Humphrey and high dose vitamin C which makes the symptoms calm down massively
