360 primary-school children with a history of whooping-cough were shown to have experienced an excess of other chest illnesses compared with 711 controls. This susceptibility may, however, have antedated the whooping-cough. Current respiratory symptoms were also more common in children who had had whooping-cough, though no differences were found on physical examination. No differences were found in lung function between cases and controls. Whooping-cough, as experienced by British children in recent years, is unlikely to cause subsequent respiratory morbidity and does not result in impaired lung function in later childhood.
与711名对照儿童相比，360名有百日咳病史的小学生出现其他胸部疾病的情况更多。然而，这种易感性可能在百日咳之前就已存在。有百日咳病史的儿童目前的呼吸道症状也更常见，不过体格检查未发现差异。病例组和对照组的肺功能没有差异。近年来英国儿童患的百日咳不太可能导致随后的呼吸道发病，也不会导致儿童后期肺功能受损。
