Abstract
Diphtheria, an acute, communicable, and life-threatening disease has been on the verge of decline owing to rigorous vaccination in most parts of the world. However, certain crops of epidemics pop up, mostly in underdeveloped countries. There has been a paradigm shift in the epidemiology with more and more adults being afflicted with Diphthteria. Adults have also be known to develop more complication commonly associated with Diphtheria. Though on the decline, this disease is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this article, we discuss in detail Diphtheria and review a few studies adding to our known literature about the disease.
Keywords: Diphtheria; Corynebacterium; Pseudomembrane; Diphtheria Toxin.
