This Ebook is talking about a disease called Diphtheria.Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It primarily affects the mucous membranes of the throat and nose. Symptoms include a sore throat, fever, and the formation of a thick gray or white patch at the back of the throat, which can block the airway. If left untreated, the bacterium produces a toxin that can harm the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. Vaccination (the DTaP vaccine for children and the Tdap booster for adults) is effective in preventing diphtheria.
