Diphtheria outbreak in Norway: lessons learned.

Inge Rasmussen1, Sean Wallace, Anne Torunn Mengshoel, E Arne Høiby, Petter Brandtzæg.   

Abstract

We describe an outbreak of diphtheria in Norway that occurred in 2008 and affected 3 unvaccinated family members. The epidemic caught the public health system off-guard on most levels; the diagnosis was distrusted due to its rarity, no diphtheria anti-toxin was available, and notification procedures were not rigorously followed.
