12 Md. kids showing signs of whooping cough

WASHINGTON -- Several Montgomery County School kids have come down with pertussis, also known as whooping cough, and county officials are worried the illness could spread to other students.

Dr. Ulder J. Tillman, health officer for Montgomery County, says they are aware of three confirmed cases and nine suspected cases of the respiratory disease at four county schools and a couple private schools.

Tillman says the students affected range in age from 9 to 18 years old.

"The problem is this is highly contagious, so that the coughing and the sneezing can spread to others," she said.
