Abstract
Diphtheria is an acute infectious toxin mediated disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Effective vaccination has decreased the incidence of disease globally. However, despite of a full-fledged Universal Immunization Programme, the cases are still seen in children and adolescents in many states in India. Here, we report three recent cases of diphtheria from Solapur district of Maharashtra to flag the awareness of the disease and importance of vaccination. Keywords: Corynebacterium diphtheria, immunization, Diphtheria antitoxin
