Happy New Year everyone:-)
We currently have an 'epidemic' of "laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis": terrible
mostly dry hacking cough for weeks. some kids are geting sub-conjuntival
haemorrahges. One of partners is notifying these cases as pertussis but
taking no swabs for diagnpsric culture as recommended by public-health.
Anybody else having a 'pertussis' outbreak?
How are things on thre continent (Europe)? New Scientist quotted sources
early last year saying that they were due for a major epidemic,
particullarly Holland.
