Abstract

In the extensive literature on the pathomorphology of diphtheria, we did not find information about the effect of diphtheria toxin on mitosis in the affected tissues. Only in one of the works devoted to the description of the cytotoxic effect of the toxin on tissue culture was the disappearance of mitotic figures in an intoxicated cell culture noted [5].
