Familial focus of combined course of whooping cough and measles: clinical observation

Abstract

The incidence of whooping cough is usually higher than the official statistics due to underdiagnosis of the infection, especially in older children. The significant increase in the incidence of measles and whooping cough in recent years has been reflected in the modern problem of mixed infections. We had the opportunity to observe patients with whooping cough combined with measles in a family outbreak in two unvaccinated sisters aged 10 and 13.
