Excerpt from Annual Address, the Causation of DiphtheriaThe first is the uncertainty as to what shall be calleddiph theria, and the possibility that included under this name are various affections which may be due to different causes. Hence it might happen that one investigator studying one class of cases - for instance, the pseudo-membranous anginas associated with scarlet fever, measles, etc. - might obtain results different from another who observed another class of cases. In view of this uncertainty, it is clear that conclusions as to the causation of primary diphtheria should be derived from the investigation of cases which all are agreed in regard ing as genuine primary diphtheria. When the etiology of this undoubted class of cases has been determined, we are in a position to examine whether the secondary and other doubtful forms of diphtheria have a different causation or not.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
