All, please distribute as appropriate. Health Department has sent this out as a reminder. Pay particular attention to diagnostics and treatment.

There is a pertussis outbreak in Texas currently. Louisiana has had increasing cases over the last few years, and has had about 100 cases this year so far according to my conversation with the Health Department.
