DIPHTHERIA AND ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT
DEFINITION
Diphtheria is a serious infection of the nose and throat that's easily preventable by a vaccine. It is a sheet of thick, grey matter that covers the back of the throat, causing difficulty in breathing.

CAUSES
Diphtheria is a serious infection caused by strains of bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae that make a toxin. It is the toxin that can cause people to get very sick.
It can lead to difficulty breathing, heart rhythm problems, and even death. CDC recommends vaccines for infants, children, teens, and adults to prevent diphtheria

SPREAD OF DIPHTHERIA
Diphtheria bacteria spread from person to person, usually through respiratory droplets, like from coughing or sneezing. People can also get sick from touching infected open sores or ulcers. Those at increased risk of getting sick include:
People in the same household
People with a history of frequent, close contact with the patient
People directly exposed to secretions from the suspected infection site (e.g., mouth, skin) of the patient

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DIPHTHERIA
The bacteria most commonly infect the respiratory system, which includes parts of the body involved in breathing. When the bacteria get into the body and attach to the lining of the respiratory system, it can cause:
Weakness
Sore throat
Mild fever
Swollen glands in the neck
When the toxin gets into the blood stream, it can cause heart, nerve, and kidney damage.
The bacteria can also infect the skin, causing open sores or ulcers.

TREATMENT
1. VACCINATION:
There are four vaccines used to prevent diphtheria: DTaP, Tdap, DT, and Td. Each of these vaccines prevents diphtheria and tetanus; DTaP and Tdap also help prevent pertussis (whooping cough).

1. ANTIBIOTICS
CDC recommends that close contacts* of someone with diphtheria receive antibiotics to prevent them from getting sick.
close contacts of someone with diphtheria should be
Monitored for possible illness for 7 to 10 days from the time they were last exposed
Tested for diphtheria with a sample collected from the nose and throat
Given a diphtheria booster shot if they are not up to date with their vaccine.
People with diphtheria are usually no longer able to infect others 48 hours after they begin taking antibiotics. However, it is important to finish taking the full course of antibiotics to make sure the bacteria are completely removed from the body. After the patient finishes the full treatment, the doctor will run tests to make sure the bacteria are not in the patient’s body anymore.

COMPLICATIONS
Complications from respiratory diphtheria may include:
Airway blockage
Myocarditis (damage to the heart muscle)
Polyneuropathy (nerve damage)
Kidney failure
