Definition of diphtheria in English:

diphtheria

noun dɪpˈθɪərɪədɪfˈθɪərɪə

mass noun

An acute and highly contagious bacterial disease causing inflammation of the mucous membranes, formation of a false membrane in the throat which hinders breathing and swallowing, and potentially fatal heart and nerve damage by a bacterial toxin in the blood.

- First or second degree block, however, can occur with rheumatic carditis, diphtheria, digoxin overdose, and congenital heart defects.
- The serum was also used in vaccines against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria and whooping cough until as late as 1993.
- Typhus cases shot through the roof, as did diphtheria, relapsing fever, dysentery, cholera and so on.
- Pasteur went on to discover vaccinations for chicken pox, cholera, diphtheria, anthrax and rabies.
- Epidemics such as influenza, pneumonia, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and typhoid took a deadly toll.
- Possible reactions to immunisation against diphtheria and tetanus and pertussis include fever, vomiting, and listlessness.
- Many children succumb to diarrhea, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles and malnutrition.
- A study in Benin failed to show that vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio was associated with reduced mortality from other conditions.
- There was no report on diphtheria, rabies, tetanus or whooping cough during the study period.
- A balanced diet can lower the risk of infectious diseases and this is apparent in the reduction of diseases such as cholera, diphtheria and polio in England.
- Vaccinations are free and compulsory for tuberculosis, diphtheria, polio, yellow fever, and measles, mumps, and rubella.
- That was when whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria and smallpox were routine.

Usage

In the past diphtheria was pronounced with an f sound representing the two letters ph (as in telephone, sulphur, and other ph words derived from Greek). In recent years the pronunciation has shifted and today the most common pronunciation, no longer incorrect in standard English, is with a p sound. A very similar shift has taken place with the word diphthong, which is now also widely pronounced with a p rather than an f sound

Derivatives

diphtherial

adjective dɪfˈθɪərɪəldɪpˈθɪərɪəl

Here, fusion toxin gene DT4H has been constructed by fusing DNA sequence encoding the first 389 amino acids of diphtherial toxin, which can not bind its own receptor, to human interleukin 4 gene.
Example sentencesExamples
- Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the sole member primarily pathogenic for man by virtue of its capacity to produce diphtherial exotoxin.
- When Freundt adjuvant was used with diphtherial anatoxin (as vaccine antigen) maximum titer of induced antibodies was 1: 500 at injection introduction of vaccine in accordance with Pasteur scheme.
- Although serious cases by skin infection are rare, it may serve as a source of diphtherial infection for spread of the organisms.

diphtheritic

adjective dɪfθəˈrɪtɪk

In the diphtheritic form, there are raised, yellow plaques on the mucus membranes of the mouth and throat.
Example sentencesExamples
- The results of the study suggest that diphtheritic toxin is not implicated in CNS lesions.
- There were two deaths, one from diphtheria and one from diphtheritic infection of a wound, in October 1941, and one from diphtheritic polyneuritis in June 1943.
- The paralytic effects of diphtheritic neuropathy are often sharply localized.
- ‘In most of these occurrences, the diphtheritic form of the disease, which attacks the eyes, throats, and trachea, results in high mortality,’ Tripathy says.

Origin

Mid 19th century: modern Latin, from French diphthérie (earlier diphthérite), from Greek diphthera 'skin, hide'.

Usage

In the past, diphtheria was correctly pronounced with an f sound representing the two letters ph (as in telephone, phantom, and other ph words derived from Greek). In recent years, the pronunciation has shifted and today the more common pronunciation, no longer incorrect in standard English, is with a p sound. Nevertheless, the f sound remains the primary pronunciation
