“…Such a form could be Corynebacterium belfanti since lysogenic conversion from this organism to C. diphtheriae has been carried out in the laboratory (Gundersen & Henriksen, 1959); unfortunately, the incidence of the former species in the community has not been reported. Further study of diphtheria in skin ulcers may help to solve some of these problems, since this form of the disease appears to be more prevalent in tropical countries (Bezjak & Farsey, 1970). Examination of the various characteristics of the organism in skin ulcers of individuals who are unlikely to be treated with antibiotics or immunoprophylactic injections would assist greatly in the understanding of the variation of C. diphtheriae during its prolonged association with the individual and during its continued existence in the herd.…”

“…Natural immunity to diphtheria may, therefore, relate to protection against the effects of DT and to strain-specific antibacterial immunity (e.g., to surface K antigens). The immunizing potential of cutaneous diphtheria is suggested by the low rates of diphtheria disease and of pharyngeal colonization with toxigenic strains in areas with high rates of C. diphtheriae skin lesions, such as Uganda (Bezjak and Farsey, 1970). In addition, rates of systemic protection against the toxin, as detected by a negative Schick test, are often high in these poorly vaccinated children.…”
