Itâs spread by coughs and sneezes, or by contact with someone with diphtheria or items belonging to them, such as bedding or clothing.

The symptoms of diphtheria include: 1  a thick grey-white coating at the back of the throat. 2  a high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above. 3  sore throat.
