I suspected I had pertussis but found it impossible to find audio clips of adults coughing. There are plenty of clips of babies and young children with pertussis on YouTube and elsewhere. Most rely on verbal descriptions of the cough and whoop, which is a shame, as the audio is immediately identifiable. I still don't know if I have whooping cough! Can one of the medical contributors to this page also include some sample audio clips of people at different ages coughing and whooping?

== Additional Information ==


The article says, "Infection with pertussis induces temporary natural immunity, but like the vaccine does not confer a lasting protective immunity.[13]" Actual duration of both vaccine and natural immunity should be expressed here. According to this journal article, natural immunity lasts form 7-10, to even 20, years in people who acquire Pertussis through infection. The duration of immunity from vaccine is much lower, according to the journal article, at 4 to 12 years. Natural immunity appears stronger than vaccination.

"All About Whooping Cough" http://www.mydr.com.au/default.asp?Article=2340

has some more detail about each stage and a slightly clearer description (easy to understand) of the symptoms at each stage.
