Diphtheria in the WHO European Region, 2010 to 2019

Mark Muscat et al.

Summary: Diphtheria is rare in the WHO European Region, but sporadic cases continue to be reported. The high DTP3 coverage in the Region may explain the relatively low number of diphtheria cases. However, suboptimal surveillance systems and inadequate laboratory diagnostic capacity may contribute to the problem. Achieving high DTP3 coverage in all districts and implementing booster doses are necessary to control diphtheria and prevent outbreaks.
