Diphtheria results in a sore throat, fever, swollen glands and fatigue. The main symptom of Diphtheria is a sheet of gray, thick, material covering the back of the throat, blocking your airway and making it hard to breathe. Diphtheria was introduced in 1942 with an average of 55,000 cases. Between 1990 and 1998 there were 157,000 cases of diphtheria leading to 5,000 deaths. Through introduction of the vaccines, there are currently only 7,096 reported cases worldwide.

The disease is most commonly spread through the air, such as sneezing or coughing. ]]> 2018-02-13 02:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bcar0428/vjjiy4biz7pt/wish/230894820 bcar0428 https://padlet.com/bcar0428/vjjiy4biz7pt/wish/230895317 Diphtheria symptoms normally occur two to five days after infection. In some cases, infection with the bacteria causes only a mild illness and results in little to no obvious signs and symptoms.]]> 2018-02-13 03:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bcar0428/vjjiy4biz7pt/wish/230895317 bcar0428 https://padlet.com/bcar0428/vjjiy4biz7pt/wish/230895761 A thick, gray membrane covering your throat and tonsils, sore throat, hoarse voice, swollen and enlarged lymph nodes, difficulty breathing, runny nose, fever, chills, and malaise, or an overall bad feeling.

Breathing problems may occur due to a result of the membrane covering the nose and throat. The bacteria produces a toxin leading to possible heart damage by spreading through the blood stream or other tissues in the body, or possibly nerve damage due to the toxin infecting nerves controlling muscle movement and breathing. Severe untreated cases can easily lead to death or paralysis. ]]> 2018-02-13 03:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bcar0428/vjjiy4biz7pt/wish/230896158 bcar0428 https://padlet.com/bcar0428/vjjiy4biz7pt/wish/230897753 The DTaP vaccine for young children, and TdaP vaccine for preteens, teens, and adults  protects from diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. Everyone needs the DTaP and TdaP vaccines throughout their lifetime. Young children need a dose of the vaccine at 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months, another between 15 and 18 months, and another between 4 and 6 years of age. Children need one booster shot of the TdaP vaccine at age 11 to 12 years of age. After 12 years of age, a routine booster shot should be given every 10 years. Pregnant females need 1 booster shot of the Tdap vaccine during the third trimester of the pregnancy.
