Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Diphtheria remains endemic in regions with low vaccine uptake.
  • International travel increases the risk of diphtheria importation and transmission.
  • Vaccine hesitancy poses a significant challenge to disease control efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of diphtheria epidemiology and transmission.
  • To highlight critical updates in diphtheria management strategies.
  • To address the implications of increased global travel and vaccine hesitancy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of diphtheria epidemiology and clinical management.
  • Analysis of current global travel trends and their impact on infectious disease spread.
  • Synthesis of recent recommendations for diphtheria prevention and control.

Main Results:

  • Travelers from endemic areas are potential carriers of diphtheria.
  • Diphtheria outbreaks can occur in unvaccinated or under-vaccinated populations.
  • Effective management requires updated clinical protocols and public health interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced surveillance and rapid response are crucial for diphtheria control.
  • Addressing vaccine hesitancy is vital to maintain high immunization rates.
  • International collaboration is essential to prevent the global resurgence of diphtheria.
