title: [Epidemiology of whooping cough: study at the Maternal School of the city of Turin].
abstract: Data about whooping cough and whooping cough vaccine in a population of 1892 children kindergarten attended in Turin (Italy) by means of interview to their parents, are referred. It has been observed that: 28.6% of the children aged from 3 to 5 already had natural infection; only 15.1% had been vaccinated. Data about clinical recovery, sequelae, adverse reaction to vaccine and parents' absences from work are referred and correlated to general population born in those years (1981-1983). Relation exists between pediatric's opinion, family's cultural background and practice of vaccination.
