A new way to fight diphtheria
Since the introduction of antitoxic serum in the treatment of diphtheria, the mortality rate of the disease has decreased considerably, but it has not yet been reduced to zero. Cases are constantly observed where, whether because of too late application of the serum, because of weak resistance of the organism, high virulence of the germs, or for other reasons, the serum treatment also proves helpless; therefore even now in cultured countries 20-30 people per every 100,000 inhabitants die of diphtheria every year.
