Question

Suppose a man develops a disease diphtheria
Comment upon the principal treatment he should receive.

Answer 1

Doctors may suspect diphtheria in a sick child who has a sore throat with a gray membrane covering the tonsils and throat. Growth of C. diphtheriae in a laboratory culture of material from the throat membrane pins down the diagnosis. Your doctor should notify the laboratory that diphtheria is suspected, because special media are needed for the growth of C. diphtheriae cultures.
