Definition
Relating to or caused by diphtheria, a serious bacterial infection of the throat and airways.
Etymology
From diphtheria (from Greek 'diphthera' meaning leather or membrane, referring to the false membranes that form in the throat). Adjective form created as diphtheria became a major public health concern.
Kelly Says
The diphtherial membrane is one of medicine's most distinctive signs—it's a thick, leathery pseudomembrane that forms in the throat, and seeing it would have terrified doctors in the 1800s because it meant a child likely wouldn't survive.
