Clinical Information

  • Diphtheria

    a localized infection of mucous membranes or skin caused by toxigenic strains of corynebacterium diphtheriae. it is characterized by the presence of a pseudomembrane at the site of infection. diphtheria toxin, produced by c. diphtheriae, can cause myocarditis, polyneuritis, and other systemic toxic effects.
  • Diphtheria Antitoxin

    an antitoxin produced against the toxin of corynebacterium diphtheriae that is used for the treatment of diphtheria.
  • Diphtheria Toxin

    an adp-ribosylating polypeptide produced by corynebacterium diphtheriae that causes the signs and symptoms of diphtheria. it can be broken into two unequal domains: the smaller, catalytic a domain is the lethal moiety and contains mono(adp-ribose) transferases which transfers adp ribose to peptide elongation factor 2 thereby inhibiting protein synthesis; and the larger b domain that is needed for entry into cells.
  • Diphtheria Toxoid

    the formaldehyde-inactivated toxin of corynebacterium diphtheriae. it is generally used in mixtures with tetanus toxoid and pertussis vaccine; (dtp); or with tetanus toxoid alone (dt for pediatric use and td, which contains 5- to 10-fold less diphtheria toxoid, for other use). diphtheria toxoid is used for the prevention of diphtheria; diphtheria antitoxin is for treatment.
  • Diphtheria-Tetanus Vaccine

    a combined vaccine used to prevent infection with diphtheria and tetanus toxoid. this is used in place of dtp vaccine (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine) when pertussis vaccine is contraindicated.
  • Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis Vaccines

    combined vaccines consisting of diphtheria toxoid; tetanus toxoid; and an acellular form of pertussis vaccine. at least five different purified antigens of b. pertussis have been used in various combinations in these vaccines.
  • Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis Vaccine

    a vaccine consisting of diphtheria toxoid; tetanus toxoid; and whole-cell pertussis vaccine. the vaccine protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough.
  • Fowlpox

    a poxvirus infection of poultry and other birds characterized by the formation of wart-like nodules on the skin and diphtheritic necrotic masses (cankers) in the upper digestive and respiratory tracts.
  • Heparin-binding EGF-like Growth Factor

    an egf family member that is expressed in a variety of hematopoietic, endothelial, vascular smooth muscle, and epithelial cells. it is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which is cleaved by proteases to produce the secreted form of the protein which has specificity for the egf receptor and the erbb-4 receptor. the membrane-bound form of the protein has been identified as the receptor which binds to and allows diphtheria toxin to enter cells.

    a cytotoxic recombinant fusion protein consisting of the human cytokine interleukin-2 (il-2) fused to diphtheria toxin fragments a and b, containing both the catalytic and translocation domains, with potential antineoplastic activity. upon administration, the il-2 moiety of denileukin difitox targets and binds to il-2 receptors. after internalization by il-2 receptor-expressing cells via endocytosis, denileukin difitox is proteolytically cleaved. this releases the catalytic domain of the toxin moiety, which catalyzes the transfer of the adp-ribose moiety of nad to a diphthamide residue of elongation factor 2 (ef-2). this covalent modification inactivates ef-2 and disrupts polypeptide chain elongation, resulting in an inhibition of translation and cell death.
  • Diphtheria

    a gram-positive bacterial infection caused by corynebacterium diphtheriae. it usually involves the oral cavity, pharynx, and nasal cavity. patients develop pseudomembranes in the affected areas and manifest signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. the diphtheria toxin may cause myocarditis, polyneuritis, and other systemic effects.

  • DTA-H19 Plasmid|DTA-H19|Diphtheria Toxin A-H19 Plasmid

    a plasmid dna encoding the a chain of the diphtheria toxin (dt-a) driven by the transcriptional regulatory sequences of human h19, with potential antineoplastic activity. because the expression of dt-a is under the control of h19 promotor elements, dt-a is selectively expressed in tumor cells capable of turning on h-19. dt-a catalyzes adp-ribosylation of translation elongation factor 2 (ef-2), resulting in the inhibition of protein synthesis and apoptosis. in addition, dt-a protein released from lysed cells cannot enter and kill neighboring cells because of the absence of the dt-b chain, further enhancing the selective cytotoxicity of this agent. human h19 is a paternally-imprinted, oncofetal gene encoding an rna product; it acts as a riboregulator in gene expression and is found at substantial levels in different human tumor cell types while its expression in normal adult tissue is limited.

Patient Education


Diphtheria

Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection. You can catch it from a person who has the infection and coughs or sneezes. You can also get infected by coming in contact with an object, such as a toy, that has bacteria on it.

Diphtheria usually affects the nose and throat. Symptoms include:

  • Sore throat
  • Swollen glands in the neck
  • Fever
  • Weakness

Your doctor will diagnose it based on your signs and symptoms and a lab test. Getting treatment for diphtheria quickly is important. If your doctor suspects that you have it, you'll start treatment before the lab tests come back. Treatment is with antibiotics.

The diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus vaccine can prevent diphtheria, but its protection does not last forever. Children need another dose, or booster, at about age 12. Then, as adults, they should get a booster every 10 years. Diphtheria is very rare in the United States because of the vaccine.

Kidney Diseases

You have two kidneys, each about the size of your fist. They are near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney there are about a million tiny structures called nephrons. They filter your blood. They remove wastes and extra water, which become urine. The urine flows through tubes called ureters. It goes to your bladder, which stores the urine until you go to the bathroom.

Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You have a higher risk of kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years. Other kidney problems include:

  • Cancer
  • Cysts
  • Stones
  • Infections

Your doctor can do blood and urine tests to check if you have kidney disease. If your kidneys fail, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
