CONDITIONS - D CONDITION Diptheria DESCRIPTION This condition results from the bacillus Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which multiplies on the throat or skin during infection. It causes a sore throat and fever, and it can be fatal. Children in the U.S. are vaccinated in their first year of life with DPT vaccine (against diptheria, pertussis, and tetanus); however, in poor developing countries, immunization is not routine and presents a hazard for these countries as well as for nonimmunized people who travel to these countries.

Both are very dangerous to the body although not too dangerous in present day. Diphtheria was a common childhood disease in the 1930’s. It affected two areas of the body; the throat and skin (and only these two areas.) Diphtheria is very rare in the United States today. A vaccine was developed against it and was given to children while they were still young so they would avoid the disease. Tired of looking through thousands of essays by hand?

My Profile Last updated 03/28/03 14:30 PST Study: Adults Not Fully Protected Against Diptheria, Tetanus May 07, 2002 By JOANN LOVIGLIO Associated Press Writer (AP) PHILADELPHIA A substantial proportion of U.S. adults are not sufficiently protected against diphtheria and tetanus because they haven't kept up with their booster shots, a study found. On average, only 60 percent of adults were protected against diphtheria and 72 percent against tetanus, according to the study in Tuesday's Annals of Internal Medicine. "In this country we have a real emphasis on childhood immunizations," said the lead author, Geraldine M. McQuillan of the National Center for Health Statistics. "What was a big surprise about this data was that though we're doing OK for kids, we really have a problem in adults." Antibody levels were poorest among people 70 and older, with only 30 percent immune to either disease, researchers found. Antibodies are produced by the immune system to fight off threats to the body.

Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease that can infect the body in two areas: the throat (respiratory diphtheria) and the skin (skin or cutaneous diphtheria). A common childhood disease in the 1930s, a vaccine against diphtheria has made it very rare in the US and other developing countries today. How is diphtheria transmitted? The diphtheria bacterium can enter the body through the nose and mouth. However, it can also enter through a break in the skin. It is transmitted from person to person by respiratory secretions or droplets in the air. After being exposed to the bacterium, it usually takes 2 to 4 days for symptoms to develop.

Bacteriology at UW-Madison Bacteriology 330 Home Page Corynebacterium diphtheriae Diphtheria Corynebacteria are Gram-positive, aerobic, nonmotile, rod-shaped bacteria related to the Actinomycetes. They do not form spores or branch as do the actinomycetes, but they have the characteristic of forming irregular shaped, club-shaped or V-shaped arrangements in normal growth. They undergo snapping movements just after cell division which brings them into characteristic arrangements resembling Chinese letters. Figure 1. Stained Corynebacterium cells. The "barred" appearance is due to the presence of polyphosphate inclusions called metachromatic granules. Note also the characteristic "Chinese-letter" arrangement of cells. The genus Corynebacterium consists of a diverse group of bacteria including animal and plant pathogens, as well as saprophytes. Some corynebacteria are part of the normal flora of humans, finding a suitable niche in virtually every anatomic site. The best known and most widely studied species is Corynebacterium diphtheriae , the causal agent of the disease diphtheria.

Diphtheria Diphtheria is a very contagious and potentially life-threatening bacterial disease. Diphtheria usually attacks the throat and nose. In more serious cases, it can attack the heart and nerves. Because of widespread immunization, diphtheria is very rare in the United States. Diphtheria is re-emerging in some areas of the world where immunization practices are lax. Routine vaccination of both children and adults is essential to prevent the re-emergence of diphtheria in the United States. What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is a very contagious and potentially life-threatening infection that usually attacks the throat and nose. In more serious cases, it can attack the nerves and heart. Because of widespread immunization, diphtheria is very rare in the United States. However, some people are not adequately vaccinated, and cases still occur. What is the infectious agent that causes diphtheria? Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a bacterium. The bacterium produces a toxin (poison) that is carried in the bloodstream. Where is diphtheria found?

The Facts About... Diphtheria What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by a bacterium called Corynebacterium diphtheriae . This disease affects the upper respiratory tract and very occasionally the skin. Virulent strains of C. diphtheriae produce a toxin which can damage heart and nervous tissues, although non-toxigenic strains can cause a localised infection. A diphtheria-like illness is sometimes caused by another toxin-producing bacterium Corynebacterium ulcerans . Immunisation against diphtheria was introduced on a national scale throughout the United Kingdom in the early 1940s and resulted in a dramatic drop in the number of cases and deaths from the disease. For example, in 1940, 46,281 cases and 2,480 deaths were notified, compared with 37 cases and six deaths in 1957. Diphtheria is now rare in England and Wales, nearly all new cases are acquired abroad, and only two deaths due to diphtheria have been recorded since 1972. How does diphtheria spread and what symptoms does it cause?

Fact Sheet No 89 Revised December 2000 DIPHTHERIA WHAT IS DIPHTHERIA? Diphtheria is an infectious disease spreading from person to person by respiratory droplets from the throat through coughing and sneezing. The disease normally breaks out 2 to 5 days after infection. Diphtheria usually affects the tonsils, pharynx, larynx and occasionally the skin. Symptoms range from a moderately sore throat to toxic life-threatening diphtheria of the larynx or of the lower and upper respiratory tracts. Diphtheria is often complicated by diphtheric myocarditis (toxic damage to heart muscles) and neuritis (toxic damage to peripheral nerves). The disease can be fatal - between 5% and 10% of diphtheria patients die, even if properly treated. Untreated, the disease claims even more lives. Untreated patients are infectious for 2 to 3 weeks. Treatment consists of immediate administration of diphtheria antitoxin and antibiotics. Antibiotic treatment usually renders patients non-infectious within 24 hours. Unless immunized, children and adults may repeatedly be infected with the disease.
