Abstract

Pediatric patients suffering from independent or concomitant influenza A (H1N1) and Bordetella pertussis infections pose a diagnostic dilemma and may benefit from time-sensitive treatment. We report a case of influenza A (H1N1) and B. Pertussis co-infection in a previously healthy 28 day-old infant.
