Abstract

Pertussis (whooping cough), a highly contagious disease of childhood, is increasingly recognized among reproductiveage adults and neonates. Described are three cases of maternal- infant pairs in which mother-to-newborn transmission probably occurred and was the cause of extensive morbidity and cost. Means of recognition, treatment, handling, and prevention of this potentially lethal childhood illness are discussed.
