Diphtheria is a sudden onset bacterial infection that usually affects the tonsils, throat and nose, and may affect the skin. Diphtheria remains a serious disease throughout much of the world. In particular, large outbreaks of diphtheria occurred in the 1990s throughout Russia and the independent countries of the former Soviet Union. Most cases occurred in unimmunized or inadequately immunized people. Control measures have been implemented, but a risk of diphtheria remains in all these areas. How do you catch Diphtheria?

Will these coins give me diptheria?
Oh, My, God. My sides hurt from trying not to bray out loud over this article from The Smoking Gun - complaints against the toll-takers of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. I honestly don't know which were worse - the vulgarian civil servants, or the brain-dead patrons who complained. By far, my favorites were numbers 1, 9 and 13: "I thought you were going to write a check, and Jesus Christ, what? Are you going to start crying now?" Then her pen froze and this also upset the collector. Help me, help me! Okay, there is no excuse for swearing at a tollbooth patron, but holy frejoles! Trying to write a check for a toll - that comes close June 21, 2004 in fun with civil servants Permalink

Diptheria is an acute infectious disease caused by the toxin-producing bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It usually affects the respiratory tract (primarily the larynx, tonsils and throat). It may also affect the skin, and the toxin produced by this bacteria can damage the nerves and heart. The disease is now rare in many parts of the world because of widespread immunization.

Diphtheria I have answered frequently asked questions about Diphtheria.
Each question has information about it. I. What is Diphtheria?
Diphtheria is a disease is that blocks breathing and swallowing. The bacteria can also cause heart failure and or paralysis leading to death. The bacteria comes in through your tonsils, nose, and throat. The bacteria multiplies and creates a membrane made of bacteria, dead cells, and a protein called fibrin. It also makes a toxin which spreads by blood to other tissues ,such as your heart and nerves, and leads to heart failure and paralysis. Most people cannot die from Diphtheria in the present but did in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. II. How is Diphtheria caught?
Diphtheria is highly contagious. It is caught from breathing in particles from a infected person when they sneeze or even talk. Infected people can get people infected for four weeks. Unimmunized people that have the greatest risk of getting Diphtheria are children under five and adults over sixty. You also have a greater risk if you live in crowded, unsanitary, conditions with a inadequate diet. Diphtheria was the leading cause of death of children in the twentieth century . It still occurs in other places. In 1993 and 1994 fifty thousand cases were reported in the former Soviet Union. If you know of any one that has Diphtheria or you have Diphtheria stay away from them and go to a doctor. III. What are the symptoms of Diphtheria?

ATLANTA It's best to use the same diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine for all five doses in infants and children, but any available DTaP vaccine can be used for the fifth dose if the same vaccine isn't available or if it's not known which vaccine or vaccines a child was given for the first four doses. That decision, made by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at its meeting last month, basically codifies what physicians have been doing with the first four doses, several participants pointed out.

Diptheria tox repressor
Protein-DNA complexes
Characteristics of the family:
Function: The virulent phenotype of the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae is conferred by diphtheria toxin, whose expression is an adaptive response to low concentrations of iron. The expression of the toxin gene (tox) is regulated by the repressor diptheria tox which is activated by transition metal ions.
Structure: Diptheria tox is a 225 residue protein binding DNA as a dimer. Each monomer consists of 6 helices and a short two-stranded beta-sheet, with helices 2 and 3 constituting the HTH motif. Binding: The DNA interacts with two dimers bound to opposite sides of the tox operator with each dimer interacting with two major groove regions. Together, the two HTH motifs (one in each dimer) bind a 24 base pair sequence.

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?

Diphtheria
The Disease
Years ago, diphtheria was a widespread and greatly feared disease. Through the 1920's it struck about 150,000 people a year, and killed about 15,000 of them. Since then, these figures have dropped considerably, thanks to parents who have gotten their children immunized against this terrible disease. There were only 918 cases in 1960, 435 in 1970, and 128 in 1976. Today, only a few cases occur each year. Diphtheria is caused by a germ that lives in the mouth, throat, and nose of an infected person. It is easily passed to others through coughing or sneezing. Early symptoms of diphtheria are a sore throat, a slight fever, and chills. Usually, the disease develops in the throat. It can make it hard to swallow and even cause the patient to suffocate. Some people may be infected but not appear ill. They can also spread the infection. If diphtheria is not properly treated, or not treated in time, the bacteria may produce a powerful poison. This poison can spread throughout the body causing serious complications such as heart failure or paralysis. About 1 person in 10 who gets diphtheria dies from it.
Immunization
Diphtheria vaccine is usually given together with tetanus and pertussis vaccines in a shot called DTaP.

Diphtheria
The Disease
Diphtheria is a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae), transmitted from person to person through close physical and respiratory contact. It can cause infection of the throat which may lead to obstruction of the breathing and death. Like other respiratory infections, transmission is increased inover-crowded and poor socio-economic conditions. In temperate climates, prior to vaccination, respiratory diphtheria commonly affected preschool and school-age children, and deaths occurred from exotoxin-induced damage to other organs such as the heart. Large epidemics occurred in Europe during and after the Second World War, with an estimated one million cases and 50 000 deaths in 1943. Nasal diphtheria may be mild and chronic carriage of the organism frequently occurs; asymptomatic infections are common. A cutaneous form of diphtheria is common in tropical countries, and may be important in transmission. Recently, large epidemics have occurred in Russia and the Newly Independent States (NIS). Epidemiology In the face of rising immunization levels in all countries throughout the world what was once a cyclical epidemic disease is now charcterized by sporadic cases and intermittent outbreaks of low intensity. This shift occurred in the 1940s and 1950s in most industrialized countries as use of Diphteria, Tetanus/Pertussis (DTP) vaccine increased. No longer was diphtheria thought of as a child killer. Developing countries, however, are much less prone to faucial (throat) diphtheria outbreaks, and their shift has been less dramatic.

Diphtheria
What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease that usually affects the tonsils, throat, nose or skin. It is extremely rare in the United States. Who gets diphtheria? Diphtheria is most common where people live in crowded conditions. Unimmunized children under 15 years of age are likely to contract diphtheria. The disease is often found among adults whose immunization was neglected, and is most severe in unimmunized or inadequately immunized individuals. How is diphtheria spread? Diphtheria is transmitted to others through close contact with discharge from an infected person's nose, throat, skin, eyes and lesions. What are the symptoms of diphtheria? There are two types of diphtheria. One type involves the nose and throat, and the other involves the skin. Symptoms include sore throat, low-grade fever and enlarged lymph nodes located in the neck. Skin lesions may be painful, swollen and reddened. How soon do symptoms appear?
