Diphtheria Cases Reported Again
Sources reported that a new case of diphtheria has been recorded in the Youssoufia region involving a 20-year-old young man, following the death of his sister who was infected with the disease and who passed away last week. Contact tracing revealed that the infected young man had not received the diphtheria vaccine. Additionally, two family clusters have been identified in the Souss-Massa region, prompting the activation of an epidemic response protocol to limit the spread of the disease, which is transmitted via respiratory droplets and can cause serious health complications if not treated. The measures focus on investigations, contact tracing, providing prophylactic treatment, and vaccination.
