Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a gram-positive bacillus with characteristic polar metachromatic granules. It was a significant public health problem, infecting the throat and upper airways and producing a highly potent exotoxin but with the advent of diphtheria vaccine, cases have rapidly decreased. Now over the last decade, the reemergence of this infection has been noted and case reports from India have been documented. India represents 78% of globally reported cases with significant mortality despite national immunization programs in place. This case study indicates the severity of an improperly managed case, the importance of microbiological diagnosis with a special interest in molecular detection, and reinforces a resurgence of diphtheria infection.
