The author traces the development of the concept of diphtheria as a specific infectious disease, distinct from croup, which was initially viewed as a purely local inflammatory disease. The author examines the ongoing debate surrounding the two diseases, with some practitioners recognizing diphtheria as a constitutional disease and others maintaining croup as a local disease. The book considers the changing patterns of mortality attributed to croup and diphtheria over time, reflecting the evolving understanding of their relationship. By examining the historical context and the perspectives of different medical practitioners, the book sheds light on the complex nature of disease classification and the ongoing evolution of medical knowledge.
