AB  - From 1999 to 2004, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vie Nam reported 401 clinically 
      suspected and 90 laboratory-confirmed diphtheria. To identify risk factors, a 
      matched case-control study was conducted during 2005 and 2006. In total, 88 cases 
      that occurred in 2003 and 2004 and 352 age- and sex-matched controls were 
      studied. No DPT/DT immunisation (odds ratio, 9.9 [95% CI, 1.9-52.3]) and bathing 
      only once a day or less (OR 1.7 [95% CI, 1.0-2.9]) were associated with 
      diphtheria incidence. Estimated vaccine efficacy of three or more DPT/DT doses 
      was 88%. Immunising children with zero-dose status of diphtheria toxoid 
      inoculation, rather than the introduction of booster doses, and the promotion of 
      skin hygiene were considered to be the priority interventions in controlling the 
      endemic diphtheria in HCMC.
