Probably not. You don't have kids, and if you ever had it, you were likely to young to remember. Bet your mother does, though.
Odds are good that you kept her up all night long, for days on end, by your coughing and crying.
It's a respiratory disease common in very young children, usually infants. It's a nasty barking cough coupled with difficulty in breathing. It is, as I recall, a form of influenza.
Never heard of an adult getting it, but there have been stranger things.
