    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Cutaneous diphtheria, caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, is increasingly recognized, particularly in recent US outbreaks.
    • Ocular involvement in diphtheria is uncommon, typically manifesting with cutaneous forms of the disease.
    • Severe ocular complications, such as corneal perforation, are rare but devastating.
