Diphtheric Myocarditis: A Resurgence in Urban Bangalore, India
نویسنده
چکیده
The introduction of the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1978 and the Universal Immunization Program (UIP) in 1985 had resulted in the virtual elimination of diphtheria in many developed countries. Other than the major resurgence noted in 1989, a decreasing trend has continued in the world. Small epidemics have occurred in South East Asia, India, Pakistan and South America, strongly emphasizing the need for maintaining full immunization coverage, failing which there stands an increased chance that the disease may return [1].
