This is a timeline of diphtheria, describing major events such as epidemics and medical developments.

Big picture

Year/period Key developments
Ancient times Earliy detailed descriptions of dyphtheria date from ancient Syrian, Egyptian, and Greek writings.[1]
1600s onward Diphtheria infection grows significantly since the 17th century and becomes one of the major causes of death, fuelled by the Industrial Revolution and increasingly crowded urban centers.[2]
1800s Major scientific breakthroughs consolidate the knowledge on diphtheria, which is given its actual name in this century[2]. Bacterium corynebacterium diphtheriae and the diphtheria toxin are discovered.[3][4] Also, the first effective therapeutic serum against diphtheria is developed.[5]
1923 onward After the first diphtheria toxoid vaccine is developed, its subsequent widespread use would lead to a dramatic decrease of diphtheria rates worldwide.[6][7] A more than 90% decrease in number of cases globally results later, between 1980 and 2000.[8]
Recent years Currently most diphtheria cases occur in Sub-Sharan Africa, India, and Indonesia. Globally 4,530 cases were officially reported in 2015, down from nearly 100,000 in 1980.[9][8]

5th century BC Scientific development Diphtheria is first described by Greek physician Hippocrates.[13][14] Greece
1600s Scientific development Medical reports of a "deadly" strangulation disease first appear early in the century, and emerges as a greater threat with the growth of urbanizations.[2][14]
1613 Epidemic diphtheria epidemic in Spain causes the year to be named "El año de los Garotillos" ("year of strangulations"), due to the many deaths caused by diphtheria suffocation.[15] Spain
1771 Medical development American physician Samuel Bard publishes An Enquiry into the Nature, Cause and Cure, of the Angina Suffocativa, or, Sore Throat Distemper, one of the earliest accurate descriptions of diphtheria as well as one of the first original contributions to pediatrics made by an American.[16] United States
1826 Scientific development French physician Pierre Bretonneau gives diphtheria its official name diphtérite, derived from the Greek word for "leather" or "hide", which describes the pseudomembrane in the throat of the victims.[2][17][15][1]
1856 Epidemic San Francisco doctor Victor Fourgeaud describes an epidemic of diphtheria in California.[8] United States
1883 Scientific development Swiss pathologist Edwin Klebs first observes the bacterium corynebacterium diphtheriae in diphtheritic membranes.[14][15]
