Diphtheria article |
|
|
|
Diphtheria, like whooping cough and tetanus, is classed as a
toxin-mediated disease. But diphtheria is better paired with
scarlet fever, because both clinical syndromes are determined not by
the bacteria, but by a class of virus called a B phage. This
virus holds the genetic "key" to the production of the toxin that
causes the classical membrane and neurological damage. Without this B
phage, the diphtheroid family causes only minor, nuisance-value
problems.

seroprevalence of mumps to prevaccination levels.
