Explanation:

• Syphilis is a reportable condition in Alaska as it is a sexually transmitted infection that needs to be tracked for public health purposes.
• Pertussis (whooping cough) is also a reportable condition in Alaska to monitor outbreaks and protect public health, especially vulnerable populations like infants.
• While infants are at high risk for severe disease from many infections (including pertussis which can be life - threatening), the symptoms may not always be obvious. For example, in very young infants with pertussis, the classic "whoop" may be absent, and they may just have apnea (temporary cessation of breathing) or mild respiratory symptoms.
