Whooping cough is an acute, severe infectious disease of the respiratory tract during childhood, in which patients will have a persistent cough, specific inspiratory whoop, and vomiting after cough.

The microorganism that causes this disease is called Bordetella Pertussis, which is a gram-negative non-mobile rod-shaped cocci bacillus. All ages are susceptible. In the prevaccine era, almost all children became infected. Afghanistan is not an exception. Whooping cough remains a significant cause of childhood mortality and a serious health problem. In the world, about 60 million people get whooping cough every year. More than 1 million children die, especially in the first year of life.
