All about dyphtheria .

 Doctor, pediatrist Spektorenko answers.

And long time ago this disease called a child s plague   she spread fast, and patients are dead.And  on 19th century entering anti diphtheria serum   , peoples are less dead, but not helped for infected attacked. And just after abundant vaccination, diphtheria   is removed. 

Diphtheria is infection disease, caused a diphtheria  stick, and this microbe is dangerous, that secrets'  toxin is poison as by a power botulinum and  tetanus and staying on third place as in a most dan grouse substance  in the world.  And diphtheria  stick causes inflammation in throat, nose. With membranous plaques. And her poison enter in blood and damage heart, kidneys, nerve system. Disease transfer from person to person, but not sicker an all, who attacked of microbe, but on 2 from ten. And other are ability carry and keeping infection other , and not suspecting about this, or keeping healthy. And way for transfer in air-dropsy, or in close household contact  with patient, as a carry for common from dish, toys, and stick this very resistance to surrounding environment, long keeping on different items, and not an all antiseptic fighting with her. 

Since infection to first symptoms are 2-5 days passing away , after displaying weakness, throat hurt, rising temperature, diseases,like cold or angina resembles, but in 2-3 days on mucus of tonsils or in the nose displaying grey-white cartilage plaques , they are hard, and destroying swallowing and breathing. Plaques in voice ligaments are true risk for life high, causing asphyxia, and childrens are dead till vaccinations times.

In childrens and in weak immunity as in AIDS , and who is on chemo therapy , or autoimmune diseases  curing are hard form diphtheria  displaying and dead from asphyxia or toxic shock. And in other complications are affecting of poison is toxin, which pathogen   secreting in patient s blood. Diphtheria  toxin damaging muscle of heart, and settling in kidneys, killing cells for periphery nerves, and these conditions are displaying on expiration date till a half months since disease begin. And scientists fount, that hardening  in diphtheria is a not always provoking for hardening  her complications.  , as light changes in throat and without fever is a not guarantee for complications. In adequate and timely cure dead from diphtheria and her complications are lead on 20 percents.

And in any plaques by an all rules on tonsils and mucus of throat doctors prescribing smears from throat, and nose on diphtheria stick, result will ready in 24-48 hours, but in checking are serious suspection on diphtheria, patient need to hospitalize in infection stationary.

And effective cure is entering anti diphtheria  serum, and more early her used, thus prognosis is better, and serum connecting molecules of toxin and not allowing attaching in patients organs. And poison entering in tissues to neutralize is not possible.

And to protect from disease is vaccination, from 0 till 16 y.old children's getting in sums are 6 planning vaccinations from diphtheria, and adults repeating vaccinations on every ten years, and who missing a dose, and her enter in fist possible and not depending on a how many times are passed after latest vaccinations.

Collective immunity on 95 percents vaccinates is saves from epidemic.

And in a not hard diphtheria on eyes difference from angina is hard and for doctor.  And lots of patients are late visiting doctors and keeping working, or school visiting, so as temperature keeping normal or rising not significant.
