As of December 15th there have been 12 positive and 10 highly probable cases of Pertussis, also know as whooping cough, at Holy Infant School.  Incubation can be as long as 3 weeks after exposure so it is possible that children will begin to show symptoms over Christmas Break.  Your child might have cold symptoms that develop into persistent coughing; cough that disturbs sleep; fits of coughing that may lead to vomiting; difficulty catching their breath after coughing.  The characteristic whoop sound to gasp in air after a coughing fit may or may not be present.  See your doctor and inform them of the situation here at school.  Treatment is a course of effective antibiotics which your doctor can prescribe with or without the nasal swab for lab testing.  After 5 days or antibiotic treatment the Pertussis is no longer contagious; children should be quarantined for those 5 days.
