A highly infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract characterised by a sore throat, fever and causing difficulty in breathing. It is caused by a bacterium which produces a toxin that leads to inflammation of the heart and nervous system
acute contagious infection caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae; marked by the formation of a false membrane in the throat and other air passages causing difficulty in breathing
An infectious disease affecting the nose, throat, or larynx with symptoms of fever, pain, and difficulty breathing
A very dangerous contagious disease in which the air passages, and especially the throat, become coated with a false membrane, produced by the solidification of an inflammatory exudation
A serious bacterial infection which causes a sore throat and fever and may lead to further complications or death
{i} serious and extremely infectious disease caused by a bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheria and its highly strong toxin (attacks the upper respiratory tract and the throat)
the disease that struck Nome in 1925 and threatened to wipe out the population The serum run, a dog sled relay, was required to get the medicine to Nome This disease causes a thick white mucus to form in the nose and throat and can be fatal Immunization has resulted in less than 5 cases annually the past few years in the USA
Respiratory disease transmitted by droplet and airborne transmission Can interfere with swallowing; if not treated can result in heart disease or paralysis

Diphtheria is a dangerous infectious disease which causes fever and difficulty in breathing and swallowing. a serious infectious throat disease that makes breathing difficult (diphthera ; because of the hardened skin in the throat). Acute infectious bacterial disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The bacterium usually enters through the tonsils, nose, or throat and multiplies there, forming a thick membrane that adheres to the tissues and sometimes blocks the trachea, requiring emergency treatment.The bacteria produce a toxin that spreads to cause other symptoms, including fever, chills, sore throat, and lesions in heart muscle and peripheral nerve tissue that may cause death from heart failure and paralysis. Diphtheria is treated with an antitoxin that neutralizes the toxin and produces long-term immunity. Vaccination has greatly reduced its occurrence in Europe and North America
An infectious disease caused by bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which establishes itself in the upper respiratory tract and elicits a potent exotoxin which spreads in the blood and may cause death
An acute infectious disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a bacterium acquired through contact with another person who is sick or is a carrier The typical case involves upper respiratory tract inflammation with formation of a membrane in the throat and tissue swelling which may cause obstruction of breathing A toxin produced by the bacterium can cause inflammation of the heart and damage to the nervous system A highly effective vaccine (containing toxoid) is available
Diphtheria is an infectious disease due to Corynebacterium diphtheriae It is a highly potent toxin and causes severe inflammation that can form a thick, membranous coating on the mucous membrane of the pharynx, the nose, and sometimes the tracheobronchial tree It causes degeneration in peripheral nerves, heart muscle, and other tissues In the past, it had a high fatality rate, especially in children It is now rare because an effective vaccine is available
