"An unvaccinated toddler from the far north coast of New South Wales is in
intensive care after catching respiratory diphtheria (diphtheria of the
throat). A six-year-old close family contact is also infected.

These are the first cases of respiratory diphtheria in children seen in
Australia since 1992."
