Statistics by Country for Diphtheria
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Diphtheria:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Diphtheria are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Diphtheria statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Diphtheria in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Diphtheria: The word 'prevalence' of Diphtheria usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Diphtheria at any given time (i.e. people with Diphtheria). The term 'incidence' of Diphtheria means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Diphtheria diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Diphtheria). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
Incidence (annual) of Diphtheria: 1 annual case notified in USA 1999 (MMWR 1999)
Incidence Rate for Diphtheria: approx 1 in 272,000,000 or 0.00% or 1 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Diphtheria to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Diphtheria to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Diphtheria are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Diphtheria in any region:
