Abstract
⺠We studied the association between pertussis in infancy and health outcomes in early childhood. ⺠We compared 89 children hospitalised for pertussis with 172 children without pertussis. ⺠Children had a greater chance on “asthma symptoms” and “respiratory infections”. ⺠The mechanisms that may underlie this association require further investigation.
