Diphtheria, Strangling Angel of Children

Although little known today, diphtheria is one of the most common diseases in the eastern region, especially in Europe. Known as "Angel of killing a child", it caused suffocation of many children in Europe in the 17th century. This disease is rarely seen today in the U.S., but it is common in poor sanitary conditions or where the cleanliness of the environment is low. Thanks to the latest understanding of communication and composition and the development of vaccines, it has brought us a long way to avoid this disease.

It is 1921. Diphtheria is sweeping across the country. Thousands of children are ill, the neck is swollen, and the throat is covered with a thick gray membrane. Thousands of children are dying. Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, and when diphtheria is discovered, scientists begin to develop vaccines. In response to vaccination, the diphtheria rate dramatically declined. I have been vaccinated today to protect myself from diphtheria. And due to another medical miracle, if diphtheria is atrophied, it can be treated with antibiotics.

Most of us knew that diphtheria is a humble disease for a long time as our baby has received diphtheria vaccination. Vaccines called DTaP prevent diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough. Although you can prevent it, diphtheria still exists. The back side of the nose and throat is covered thickly, which may make breathing and swallowing difficult. Diphtheria may also cause heart failure, paralysis, even death. Ensure your child has vaccinated to help prevent this dangerous infection

Children do not need vaccinations. Vaccination can be painful and may cause discomfort within the next few days. It is speculated that vaccination diseases include polio, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough (whooping cough), rubella (rubella of Germany), mumps, tetanus, rotavirus, influenza B type (Hib), and the like. If you leave untreated, these diseases can become fatal, but first of all it may be difficult to contract. Immunization to prevent these diseases does not prevent children from taking fatal diseases, but rather may have side effects. For example, MMR vaccine manufacturers report diabetes, thrombocytopenia (hematologic disorders), arthritis, encephalitis (encephalitis), Guillain-Barre syndrome (paralysis) and death in clinical trials of MMR vaccines
