Diphtheria in Mayotte, 2007–2015

Epidemiology of diphtheria in the southwestern Indian Ocean is poorly documented.

description Epidemiology of diphtheria in the southwestern Indian Ocean is poorly documented. We analyzed 14 cases of infection with toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae reported during 2007–2015 in Mayotte, a French department located in this region. Local control of diphtheria is needed to minimize the risk for importation of the bacterium into disease-free areas.
