ON THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF SOME METHODS OF VABORATORY DIAGNOSTICS OF DIPHTHERIA

Abstract

In connection with the task of the complete elimination of diphtheria, its bacteriological diagnosis becomes an especially important link in both medical work and preventive measures. A necessary condition for this is the reliability of any positive or negative answer. However, practical laboratories at hospitals still receive such a low incidence of diphtheria bacteria from patients with overt diphtheria that their answers can confirm the diagnosis in no more than 50-40 and even 20% of cases (Olshevskaya).
