Pertussis, whooping cough cases increasing across Kentucky From Stephanie French/Brice Mitchell Frankfort, KY - On July 17, 2024, state health officials alert Kentuckians that pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is increasing across the commonwealth. To date in 2024, Kentucky health officials have identified 130 cases of pertussis. Current case numbers indicate that the state is experiencing an elevated rate of infection not seen in Kentucky since 2016-2017 when 463 and 449 cases were reported, respectively. "Anyone can get pertussis, though infants are at greatest risk for life-threatening illness," said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH). "Fortunately, vaccinations are available to help prevent serious disease." Whooping cough is a very contagious respiratory illness. Symptoms of whooping cough can vary for people based on their age and vaccination status, but typically begin with a runny or congested nose and mild coughing. After 1-2 weeks, the cough can progress to rapid, violent coughing fits that can cause the "whooping" sound, vomiting and labored breathing. Babies younger than one year old are at greatest risk of getting whooping cough and having severe complications from it. People with pre-existing health conditions that may be worsened by whooping cough are at high risk for developing a severe infection. If you have been exposed to anyone with whooping cough or if you are having any whooping cough symptoms, go to your nearest clinic.
