Investigations of 16 archive autopsy observations of diphtheria of the fauces confirmed bacteriologically revealed that Corynebacteria diphtheriae multiplied mainly on the surface of the mucous membrane. Fibrinous inflammation on the tonsillar surface is most typical for this agent. In all cases with manifestations of acute inflammation the lesion was caused by C. diphtheriae in combination with other bacteria, most frequently streptococci. The latter were harboured deep in the tonsills and caused there an inflammatory process with characteristic lesions. Examinations of the tonsills removed from 72 C. diphtheriae carriers showed that longterm persistence of the bacteria in the tonsills was primarily due to the specific structure of the cryptae, particularly great branchiness and depth contributing to the retention of the content. Long-term carrier state leads to a statistically significant increase of the degree of their plasmatization as compared with the control group. This occurs in parallel with changes in the general responsiveness of the host. |
