BACKGROUND: Pertussis, or whooping cough, caused by Bordetella pertussis (BP) is a re-emerging problem in our environment. Although generally considered that the disease is relatively easy to identify infections respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can present with similar symptoms in infants remains difficult discrimination.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, analytical, case-crossover cross comparing younger than 6 months hospitalized with suspected IRA and pertussis (2007-2012) in which BP identified (PCR and culture) and / or VRS (immunofluorescence in nasal secretions). Coinfections were excluded. Bivariate analysis was performed by calculating OR with 95
