Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease involving the respiratory tract. It is caused by a bacterium, Bordetella pertussis, which is found in the mouth, nose and throat of an infected person. person can transmit pertussis from seven days following exposure to an infected person, to three weeks after the onset of coughing episodes. Pertussis is only contagious for 5-7 days if antibiotic therapy is begun.
The most contagious period is when the virus first enters into your body and starts to make copies of itself. This is because your immune system has not yet had time to fight back. This period of maximum contagiousness lasts about 3 to 4 days and is when you are suffering the most. After this time your immune system starts to fight back and the viral level slowly drops and you become less and less contagious.
