AB  - Despite  relatively  high  coverage  with  an  effective  vaccine,  pertussis  continues  to  cause  morbidity  and  mortality  worldwide.  The  World  Health  Organization  estimated  in  2014  that  approximately  89,000  children  died  from  pertussis.  The  United  States  has  seen  a  steady  rise  in  case  incidence  to  the  highest  levels  in  60  years.  The  reemergence  of  pertussis  in  the  United  States  and  elsewhere  punctuates  the  need  for  pediatricians  to  be  aware  of  pertussis  epidemiology  and  presentation  in  all  ages.  Early  recognition  of  disease  allows  implementation  of  effective  measures  to  prevent  spread  and  further  harm.
