“…The existence of these types has been so widely recognized and accepted that it cannot be considered to be any longer in doubt. It has been suggested from time to time, however, (a) that forms diverging from the three chief types described are sufficiently numerous and important in clinical diphtheria to make a wider classification desirable (18,23,24,50,51,105,106,196,202,206).…”

1. A general survey of diphtheria in Glasgow during 1934–42 has been made. Over 11,000 strains ofC. diphtheriaehave been typed and the incidence of the types is recorded.2. The period has been marked by a change in the predominant type of organism fromintermediustogravis, andgravisinfections are now responsible for most of the mortality, though the average case fatality rate due to them is not high.3. Diphtheria on the whole has been mild and complications relatively few, but some shift in the death-rate incidence to the higher age periods with increase in the corresponding case fatality rate has taken place. A small shift in the age incidence of diphtheria is noted.4. Some account of the effect of immunization is given.5. Comment is made upon colony variation among the types ofC. diphtheriae.
