AB  - Diphtheria  is  a  rare  but  highly  contagious  disease  caused  by  the  exotoxin-producing  bacterium  C  diphtheriae.  It  is  transmitted  either  by  direct  contact  or  through  respiratory  aerosolization.  Many  adults  are  now  susceptible  to  diphtheria  because  their  vaccine-induced  immunity  decreased  over  time  or  owing  to  decreased  opportunity  for  naturally  acquired  immunity.
