title: COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF DIPHTHERIA CULTURES OF LOEFFLER'S MEDIUM WITH THE ORIGINAL SWABS TRANSPORTED BY MAIL.
abstract: Swabs and cultures prove to be of equal value for diphtheria diagnosis while swabs may give evidence of other infections. This paper tells of an experiment in routine work lasting a year. It shows swabs to be less costly, never dry through storage, and better for surveys. The paper emphasizes the need of rural branch laboratories.
