Abstract

Cutaneous manifestation of diphtheria is reported rarely, and often misdiagnosed due to other similarly presenting conditions. Here we are presenting a case of a 1 year old child who had neutropenia with no prior dose of immunization presented with multiple cutaneous and respiratory lesions and diagnosed on microbiology as diphtheria. A complete antibiotic therapy and completion of immunization schedule is necessary in all cases as well as their contacts. We are reporting this case due to rarity of cutaneous manifestations of diphtheria and other common diseases masquerading it.
