Cas de diftèria en un nen no vacunat a les comarques de Girona: investigació del cas i mesures de control
Abstract
This article reviews the investigation of an unvaccinated
6 year-old boy from Olot (Girona, Spain) who suffered
from diphtheria. The boy wasn’t linked to another case of diphtheria.
He was schooled and used to attend extracurricular
activities. Four days before symptoms the child joined a summer
camp organized by the school. Control actions were taken
to those who had had a closest and more extended contact in
time with him. Ten Corynebacterium diphtheriae carriers were
identified. The same control actions were applied to those living
with the carriers and people from their close environment.
