[Allergic manifestations in diphtheria]

Described in the article are particular characteristics of allergoses encountered in patients with different forms of diphtheria. Allergic reactions were found to be presenting as anaphylactic shock urticaria and Quincke's edema type. The studies made showed that allergic reactions in treatment of patients with diphtherial infection develop on relatively rare occasions but they should be examined in a more thorough way.
