Bordetella pertussis in Nasopharynx
A whooping cough test usually uses fluid from your nose to help diagnose whooping cough, also known as pertussis.
Whooping cough tests are used to find out whether you or your child has whooping cough. Getting diagnosed and treated in the early stages of infection may make your symptoms less severe and help prevent the spread of the disease.
