Local News ? September 23, 2010 - 5:00am

A recent rise in whooping cough cases in Monroe County could signal the start of an outbreak, public health officials say. The highly contagious infection has caused outbreaks this year in the Syracuse area and elsewhere. Pertussis, as it is officially known, has killed nine infants in California this year ? and killed one infant in Monroe County last year.

ALBANY, N.Y. ? The New York State Department of Health is warning parents to be on the lookout for pertussis, a disease that starts with cold-like symptoms, followed by a runny nose and cough.

Dr. Debra Blog says pertussis, commonly called "whooping cough" because of the noise made after an intense coughing attack, is coming on strong in New York.

"Compared with the first 8 months of last year, we're seeing 380 cases roughly, versus 180 last year," said Dr. Blog. "So, we are seeing an increase. As you know, it's been in the news in California, so thank goodness we're not seeing anything quite like that..."
