Whooping
Cough:-
Whooping cough (pertussis) is an infectious disease usually found in children.
It is caused by the coccobacillus Bordetella pertussis and manifests itself
in the respiratory tract. The disease is characterized by a convulsive spasmodic
cough which is sometimes followed by a crowing intake of breath, hence the name.
