The transmission is direct contact with infected people. Clinical signs: – Incubation: 2 to 5 days – Loco-regional: • febrile pseudomembranous angina (false grayish resistant membranes and often highly adherent), sometimes accompanied by serious signs:…

Although rare in France and because of gravity, it is essential that the bacteriology laboratories are able to identify Corynebacterium diphtheriae.With advances in bacteriology, it is recognized that other corynebacteria can be pathogenic opportunists during hospitalization in the long…

Bacterial and Parasitic Infections
* Diphtheria: it is due to the lysogénée bacteria strain that produces exotoxin. C. The diphtheria that do not produce exotoxin may be responsible for angina false membranes, but also septicemia (and secondary locations: endocarditis) but do not induce the disease diphtheria. Diphtheria is a little immunizing disease which justifies vaccination for convalescent patients. *…

Diphtheria
* Toxic infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae (Klebs-Löffler bacillus). Gram positive bacillus; the packet group matches (or pins or Alphabet Letter) is suggestive. * The strains carrying the gene Tox (transmitted by a bacteriophage) produce a toxin. Cell damage are related to nuclease action of the toxin. * The pharyngitis are very contagious (direct air…
