Can someone who once had Diphtheria pass it on to their unborn child and if so what symptoms might the child develop?

No, a person who has had diphtheria cannot pass the infection to their unborn child. Diphtheria is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and once a person recovers, they develop immunity to the infection. However, if a pregnant woman contracts diphtheria during pregnancy, there is a risk of complications for the fetus, but transmission of the infection itself is not possible. Symptoms in the child could include respiratory issues if the mother is infected, but generally, the child will not develop diphtheria if the mother is immune.
