In February 2017, a diphtheria outbreak occurred among Amerindians of the Pemon ethnic group in Wonken, Venezuela. A field investigation revealed approximate to 10 cases; clinical presentation did not include cutaneous or neurologic signs or symptoms. To prevent future outbreaks in Venezuela, Amerindian communities need better access to vaccination and healthcare.
