MedlinePlus: Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection. you can catch it from a person who has the infection and coughs or sneezes. it usually affects the nose and throat and causes a bad sore throat, swollen glands, fever and chills. but if it is not properly diagnosed and treated it produces a poison in the body that can cause serious complications such as heart failure or paralysis.
the diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (dpt) vaccine can prevent diphtheria, but its protection does not last forever. adults should get another dose, or booster, every 10 years. diphtheria is very rare in the united states because of the vaccine.

MalaCards: Diphtheria, also known as corynebacterium infections, is related to glioblastoma and hodgkin's lymphoma. An important gene associated with Diphtheria is DPH3 (DPH3, KTI11 homolog (S. cerevisiae)), and among its related pathways are Base excision repair and ERK5 Signaling. The drugs diphtheria antitoxin and diphtheria antitoxin,equine and the compounds glucose and 3-aminobenzamide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include heart, smooth muscle and kidney, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and embryogenesis. Disease Ontology: A primary bacterial infectious disease that is characterized by sore throat, low fever, and an adherent membrane (a pseudomembrane) on the tonsils, pharynx, and/or nasal cavity. a milder form of diphtheria can be restricted to the skin. it is caused by corynebacterium diphtheriae, an aerobic gram-positive bacterium. diphtheria toxin spreads through the bloodstream and can lead to potentially life-threatening complications that affect other organs of the body, such as the heart and kidneys.6 Wikipedia: Diphtheria (Greek διφθέρα (diphthera) \"pair of leather scrolls\") is an upper respiratory tract...44 more... |
