We analyzed 59 pediatric pertussis cases during Mexico’s 2024-2025 outbreak. Mortality was 13. 6%, with low maternal Tdap coverage (27. 1%) and incomplete infant vaccination (16. 9%). Mortality correlated with intensive care unit admission, intubation, leukocytosis and coronavirus codetection. Peak leukocyte count predicted mortality (P = 0. 027; area under the curve = 0. 79). Findings underscore the need for maternal immunization and early detection.
