Summary.
Almost without exception the throats examined were relaxed or
showed signs of infection.
In five of the cases definite membrane patches were seen. These
patients were:—
e. a., e. w , d. h., a. B.,
and one person in the first dormitory visited, whose name was not taken
through a clerical error.
In thirty-seven of the cases there were markedly enlarged tonsils.
In twenty-two cases the true diphtheria bacillus was found,
showing all the classical morphological characteristics.
In forty-three cases the diphtheroid bacillus described above was
found, where the Klebs Loeffler Bacillus was absent.
