During 2024, I KBPK has recorded eight confirmed cases of the Pertusis laboratory, mainly in younger age.

The “Pertusis, also known as the Good Cola, is a bacterial infectious disease that involves the abandonment of breathing. It is caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertusis found in the mouth, nose, and throat of the infected person. This infectious disease may appear at any age, but more often it affects children and teenagers. The most endangered are children under the age of 1. The disease is easily spread from person to person, mainly through points/screws from the cough or sneezing of the infected person. Symptoms usually appear 7 to 10 days after infection, but can be shown up until 21 days later”, the IKPK report said.

According to the IKSC report, the most frequent complications are bacterial secondary pneumonia, neurological complications, middle ear infection, dehydration, convulsions, etc.
