Autochthonous outbreak of respiratory diphtheria caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Germany, September 2024

10 Jul 2025

Abstract excerpt

In September 2024, a school-aged child (P1), unvaccinated against diphtheria, was hospitalised with severe respiratory diphtheria caused by toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae. P1 subsequently died from the disease. The child’s mother (P2) had pharyngitis 9 days before the onset of symptoms of P1 and subsequently tested positive for C. diphtheriae . In multilocus sequence typing (MLST), the C. diphtheriae...
