dc.description.abstract	Diphtheria continues to be reported in many parts of world even though effective vaccine available. Complete heart block rare but often a fatal complication. Other complications like airway obstruction due to laryngitis and palatal paralysis can occur. We report 3 cases with complications of diphtheria.
