Some more information on this matter. It appears that the lass caught
pertussis in Nepal and travelled then to Thailand. She has contacted all the
people she travelled with plus the restaurants where she ate. However, it’s
doubtful she could have contacted all those she was around; people on transport
for example. So again, if yore travelling, ensure you’re immunised, and take
out travel insurance.

A friend’s daughter has just returned from Thailand with pertussis (whooping
cough). It took doctors here some weeks to diagnose (they originally thought
she might have tuberculosis). So
travelling birders, have all your immunisations and take out travel insurance
before heading overseas.
