Today, despite the ongoing vaccination, pertussis remains a medical problem, as it continues to be a common bacterial infection, involving children of different age groups in the epidemic process. The absence of persistent immunity to whooping cough in combination with a high susceptibility index contributes to an increase in the incidence of the disease among schoolchildren and adolescents, who are more often diagnosed only as a result of epidemiological and laboratory studies, and who, in most cases, serve as a source of infection for young children.
