Chapter 22, Problem 7CT

In mid-November, a worried couple brought their 29-day-old newborn to their small-town doctor's office. The weak infant had been coughing severely over the past five days, so much so that she was choking on her formula. During her examination, the infant became blue and breathless. The baby girl tested positive on a DNA amplification test for Bordetella pertussis. (Adapted from MMWR 54:71-72, 2005.) Wily is this disease so dangerous for small infants? Why did this baby become ill given that this disease is preventable with vaccination?
