Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, primarily affecting the nose, throat, and sometimes skin, leading to difficulty breathing, heart failure, paralysis, or death.
Rare in developed countries due to vaccination; sporadic outbreaks occur globally, especially in regions with low vaccination coverage (WHO).
