Pneumonia due to whooping cough due to Bordetella parapertussis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1599259291

Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung—affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli. This diagnosis is due to a highly contagious bacterial disease caused by a small Gram-negative bacterium of the genus Bordetella that is adapted to colonise the mammalian respiratory tract.
