He was due to be vaccinated against whooping cough in the next week, but the germ has gotten to him first. His mother brought him to the hospital two days ago.

What started as a runny nose and slight cough has become frightening episodes where he's struggling to breathe. Whooping cough, or pertussis, as it's formally known, can be life- threatening for babies. DR. DARYL EFRON (Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia): Whooping cough is caused by a really nasty bacteria called Bordetella pertussis, and that produces a toxin that attacks the airways and causes a really nasty bronchitis. And they get really sticky, thick phlegm that they can't shift, and they try to and that causes them to cough. And the cough needs to be really, really vigorous, but they often.

And if they stop breathing for long enough, they go red in the face at first and then sometimes, if it's an extended period of not breathing, they can go blue, and that can be very, very frightening.

NARRATOR: One case was traced back to an infected person taking the elevator up to an apartment, shedding the virus along the way.
