This question is making sure we understand the different phases of a pertussis infection.
00:08
So for pertussis, we have four different phases.
00:10
We have incubation, we have the catarral phase, we have paroxysmal phase, and we have convalescence.
00:29
So in any phase, you typically have an incubation and convalescent phase, and the incubation infection is where you're asymptomatic, but you're starting to develop some of these common symptoms such as fever or a general feeling of being bad or what we call malays.
00:54
And the convalescence is basically the recovery phase.
01:02
So if we're looking for that characteristic whooping cough sound of your abortatel pertussis infection, you're not going to be looking at the incubation phase or the convalescent phase.
01:18
These are typically less symptomatic and they're not going to have that characteristic severe presentation of the whooping cough.
01:27
So unfortunately you just have to remember between the catarral and paroxysmal phase.
01:34
One way possibly to remember is paroxysmal means unusually onset...
