Abstract
During the period July 1979-April 1980 4 pregnant women in 1 general practice were found to be suffering from pertussis. The diagnosis was based on clinical and serological evidence. A clinical and bacteriological account of their progress and that of their babies is given. The possibility of pertussis occurring in expectant mothers at the present time is stressed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
