WHOOPING GOUGH
Prepared by
HOWARD E. FELTON, M. D.
President Bartow County Board of
Heallth.
Whooping ooug'h is an infectious
and contagious disease. It is a “catch
ing” disease. We know that it is most,
catching in the early period of the
attack; we know that it is spread by
people and not by things. It is a dis
ease characterized by spells of cough
ing, accompanied by a long-drawn, in
spiration, producing a ‘‘whoop.”
The epidemics are most prevalent
during March and April, and during
the winter and spring months.
Whooping cough attacks children of
all ages. It is not a very rare disease
in aduDts—with adults it may become
serious in a short while. It is a very
serious disease among children under
five years of age.
It is said to be more frequent in
girls.
Sometimes as many as forty out of
each one hundred will die, in an> epi
demic.
The usual causes of death are the
inflamation. of the air passages and
lungs, accompanying or following the
whooping cough. Cerebral pafey and
death sometimes occur after an at
tack of whooping cough. A child may
develop tubercular consumption.
One seldom has- whooping cough
more than once.
It is a crime for parents to purpose
ly expose their children to whooping
cough.
Period of incubation, seven to ten
days. It generally begins with a cough
just like a bad coM, with some fever
and a little expectoration. The cough
may continue for two weeks, or long
er. About this time the cough will be
gradually growing worse, and that it
occurs in “spells,” then sudd emit y a
“whoop” develops, then the diaga
nosisl is complete. The paroxysms be
come more severe. The face is flushed,
and the eyes are injected and bulging.
These paroxysms generally terminate
in vomiting. Rupture of an eye or ear
blood vessel sometimes occur. The
length of this paroxysmal state usual
ly lasts from four to six weeks.
The period of convalescence will
last another four weeks. So the usual
period of an ordinary attack of whoop
ing cough is about nine to twelve
weeks, or longer.
Sometimes it wlil happen that
whooping cough will occur in such a
mild form that it is scarcely recogniz
able. Even the attending physician in
the absence of the “whoop” and the
“vomit” is una'ble to make a. positive
diagnosis. Any cough occuring in an
epidemic form lasting longer than two
weeks, should be looked upon with sus
picion, and the child isolated and kept
away from school, and all public
places, as a severe form of whooping
cough may be contracted from Uifsc.
mild cases.
