The infectious stage of diphtheria occurs when the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae is present in the throat and can be transmitted to others, primarily through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. This stage typically lasts until 2-3 weeks after the onset of symptoms, but it can be shorter if the infected individual receives appropriate antibiotic treatment. In some cases, individuals can carry the bacteria asymptomatically, making them potential sources of infection. Vaccination is crucial in preventing diphtheria and limiting its spread.
