摘要
We report a cluster of infections with genetically related toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae linked to an out-break among asylum seekers in Switzerland that subse-quently affected patients without known exposure. This discovery highlights the importance of rapid, interdisci-plinary outbreak investigations and regular vaccination status assessment, especially in elderly populations with waning immunity
