First, if you look at a child suffering from diphtheria—adults can also suffer from it, you know—you can see a membrane in the throat. This membrane, this formation of tissue, is usually what can cause suffocation in diphtheria. This formation of tissue is thus the first important factor. The second thing one notices in diphtheria is that the heart of a diphtheria patient is always assaulted. The heart does not function properly. The third aspect of diphtheria is that even if the patient is not strongly afflicted by the membrane in his throat, he nevertheless has a hard time swallowing because of a kind of paralysis of the throat that occurs in addition to the membrane. Finally, the same symptom that is nowadays observed in those suffering from influenza also appears in diphtheria patients: their eyes begin to cross and they see double. These are the most important symptoms of diphtheria that can be noted in the upper part of the body. A form of kidney ailment, unobserved in those who suffocate and die, appears as an aftereffect in the diphtheria patients who recover.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Diese Häute, Hautbildungen, die sind es, an denen man gewöhnlich in der Diphtherie erstickt. So ist also das erste Wichtige diese Hautbildung. Das zweite Wichtige aber bei der Diphtherie ist, daß man bemerkt, daß das Herz bei einem Diphtheriekranken immer etwas angegriffen ist. Das Herz will nicht recht funktionieren. Das dritte aber bei einem Diphtheriekranken ist das, daß wenn er auch noch nicht von den Häuten zu stark geplagt ist, er schlecht schlingen kann. Er hat eine Art Schlundlähmung. Er ist gelähmt, der Schlund. Das ist außer den Häuten, extra, daß der Schlund gelähmt ist. Und dann tritt bei den Diphtheriekranken das ganz Ähnliche auf, was Sie jetzt auch bei den Grippekranken haben: er fängt an zu schielen und doppelt zu sehen. Das tritt bei der Diphtherie auf.
