Diphtheria is a contagious infectious disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, characterized by fever, sore throat, and the formation of a thick pseudomembrane in the throat. It was historically controlled by vaccination but remains a concern in under-immunized populations. The term also refers to the toxin produced by the bacteria, which can cause serious systemic complications.
