Concurrent diphtheria and COVID-19 infection in an unvaccinated child.

We report the case of a girl in her middle childhood who presented with progressive neck swelling, sore throat, dysphagia, low-grade fever and malaise, and with no prior vaccinations. Examination revealed a 'bull neck' appearance with pseudomembranous pharyngitis, which showed bleeding on membrane removal. The patient did not have any respiratory distress, but RT-PCR confirmed the concurrent coinfection of DPT with SARS-CoV-2.
