SUMMARY: Public health officials in Alabama are warning about a rise in whooping cough cases, particularly at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa. Dr. Karen Landers from the Alabama Department of Public Health explains that the illness, although old, is resurfacing and can cause severe symptoms, especially in infants and the elderly. Adults should also be aware, as the disease can be severe for those with other health issues. Dr. Colleen Toby Donahue emphasizes the importance of staying up to date on vaccinations and contacting a doctor if symptoms occur. Preventative measures, such as handwashing and staying home when sick, are critical.

It is colloquially known as whooping cough, but doctors know it as pertussis. Confirmed cases of the disease have been reported at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, so doctors are urging Alabamians to stay aware.
