[Cutaneous diphtheria].
Cutaneous diphtheria, frequently seen in tropical areas, is uncommon in developed countries. As seen in the recent epidemics in western countries, where it turned out to be an important factor of dissemination, there is a persisting risk of diphtheria. A perfect knowledge of the clinical manifestations and factors of risk and consequent vaccination is necessary to eradicate diphtheria.
