Cutaneous Diphtheria in France : an Observational, Retrospective Study of Epidemiological, Clinical, Microbiological and Therapeutic Characteristics
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Characteristics description for Corynebacterium Diphtheriae Infection. Completed, enrolled 63 participants across 42 sites.
Detailed Summary
Toxigenic cutaneous diphtheria is a notifiable disease that is re-emerging in the world and particularly in France. A better description of the epidemiological characteristics, as well as a refinement of the clinical characteristics of patients with cutaneous diphtheria, are essential to better understand this pathology, which has important public health issues and whose diagnosis absence can have catastrophic consequences for the patient and their contacts. Microbiological data (species identification, toxigenicity or not, resistance profile...) will be transmitted by the national reference center for corynebacteria of the diphtheriae complex and then caregivers who have managed the corresponding patients with cutaneous diphtheria will be contacted.
