Diphtheria An infection where the infecting bacteria secrete a toxin in the upper respiratory tract which destroys tissue and causes a membrane to form which may collapse and cause asphyxiation.

Diphtheria infectious disease InfectiousDiseaseType The intersection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1fRZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectionType</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv6WBtZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DiseaseType</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwVh-HpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectiousDiseaseType</a> is a type of infection that is also a type of disease. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVp6j5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TrenchFever</a> belongs in this collection, but <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQww_JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ViralInfection</a>, which is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1fRZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectionType</a> but is not a type of disease, does not belong. Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvX3UYJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectionTypeByPathogenType</a>, and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQwvf5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Infection</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQww85wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BacterialInfection</a> is an infection caused by bacteria (see the constant <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjU-5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Bacterium</a>). Notable specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQww85wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BacterialInfection</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv7ukd5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AnthraxInfection</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1Ue5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Diphtheria</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1iKZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Acne</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwFuhkpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Leprosy</a>. bacterial infection BacterialInfection Wikipedia Article URL (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rNv0nbm4TTjOp7yhmnzOyqg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleURL</a> THING URL) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article located at URL wikipediaArticleURL seeAlsoURI <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4riWVFR6HJSpaEaHrcWS3MSA" class="cyc_term">seeAlsoURI</a> <b>THING</b> <b>URI</b>)</code> means that a description of the resource identified by URI is likely to contain information pertinent to THING. This predicate is roughly equivalent to rdfs:seeAlso. See Also URI Diphtheria An infection where the infecting bacteria secrete a toxin in the upper respiratory tract which destroys tissue and causes a membrane to form which may collapse and cause asphyxiation. Diphtheria infection transmitted by close contact CloseContactTransmittedInfection A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQwvf5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Infection</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQwbJJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CloseContactTransmittedInfection</a> are contagious infections, i.e., typically transmitted from one host to another by contact (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjrGZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TouchingEvent</a> for instance). An important specialization is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQwcK5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SexuallyTransmittedInfection</a>. Diphtheria An infection where the infecting bacteria secrete a toxin in the upper respiratory tract which destroys tissue and causes a membrane to form which may collapse and cause asphyxiation. Diphtheria wikipediaArticleName (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rTv-jk9SPTXa991kk5mAvHg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleName</a> THING NAME) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article with the title NAME Wikipedia Article Name
