1. DIPHTHERIA Pediatric Oncall
   Presented is a case study of a 1½ years old male patient with diptheria.  
   http://www.pediatriconcall.com/fordoctor/casereports/diphtheria.asp
   
   Extractions: Case Report: However, 4 weeks after the onset of the disease, he developed weakness in both the upper limbs and lower limbs with pooling of secretions in the mouth. An EMG/NCV revealed demyelinating neuropathy and he required ventilatory support for the same for 15 days. Thus, he had post diphtheric polyneuropathy also. In the 5th week of the illness, he had a tender hepatomegaly with elevated liver enzymes (SGOT = 2000 IU/L, SGPT = 3,672 IU/L) which subsided within a week. Thus, he also suffered post-diphtheric hepatitis.

Prevalence of infection Generally worldwide: More prevalent in temperate zones outbreak of diptheria began in 1990 in the Russian Federation by 1994, all 15 Newly Independent States were affected mostly adult were infected United States: in the southeast during the winter time highest incidence rates have been in states with a significant population of Native Americans no geographic concentration of cases s currently observed Of the 49 cases of diptheria observed from 1980-1999, 40 cases were reported with known age (most cases occurred in unimmunized or inadequately immunized persons) In the 1920s, 100,000-200,000 cases of diptheria (140-150 cases per 100,000 population) and 13,000-15000 deaths were reported each year. The number of cases gradually fell to about 19,000 in 1945 (15 cases per 100,000 population). A more rapid decrease began with the introduction and use of toxoid in the late 1940s. From 1970-1979 an average of 196 cases per year were reported. And from 1980-1999, only 49 cases were reported in the United States (an average of 3 per year).

    Extractions: 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

Z Contents of this page: Antibodies Definition Return to top Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by the toxin-producing bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Diphtheria is usually transmitted by contact with respiratory droplets from infected persons or asymptomatic carriers. It can also be transmitted by contaminated objects or foods (such as contaminated milk). The incubation period is 2 to 5 days. The bacteria primarily infect the nose and throat, although they may initially infect the skin, producing skin lesions Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces a toxin that causes tissue damage ( necrosis ) in the immediate area of the infection, usually the nose and throat. It can also spread via the bloodstream to other organs, where it can cause significant damage. Although the toxin can damage any tissue, the heart and nervous system are most frequently and most severely affected. Localized infection in the throat and tonsillar area produces a characteristic membrane that is gray to black, tough, and fibrous. This membrane can cause

The lightest drunks are named colds, "flu," tonsilitis; the heaviest, diphtheria. In those who eliminate through the skin (the eruptive fevers), the lightest form is called measles; the heavier, scarlet fever; the heaviest, black smallpox.
