*Of 13 cases of neurologic disease identified in Colorado during the outbreak period, only 12 provided nasopharyngeal specimens for analysis. RPP models were adjusted for age, time to specimen collection, epidemiologic week of sample collection. B. pertussis models were adjusted for presence of fever, type of specimen collected, and epidemiologic week of specimen collection. BP, Bordetella pertussis; EV, enterovirus; OR, odds ratio; RPP, respiratory pathogen panel; RV, rhinovirus.
