Description:
Diphtheria is a bacterial infectious disease which appears predominantly during the childhood. The disease leads particularly to an inflammation of the pharynx, larynx and nasal mucosa. The etiologic agent is the Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Its pathogenicity is based on the secretion of an exotoxin that is circulating in the blood and effecting the heart muscle, kidneys and CNS. Only the toxigenic strains are pathogenic. Depending on the stage of disease, the three types 'slight, middle and serious' can be distinguished. The grade of disease depends on the immune status of the child.
