Abstract

Despite the effectiveness of a specific agent - anti-diphtheria serum, the problem of treating diphtheria has not been completely resolved. Clinical experience shows that the limit of serum action is associated with the duration of its use and with the severity of the disease. This suggests that the processes of illness and recovery cannot be reduced to a simple scheme of the relationship between toxin and antitoxin.
