Morphological changes in the blood picture in diphtheria, especially in toxic forms, already at the end of the last century attracted the attention of scientists. So, a significant hyperleukocytosis has been described, especially high in cases with a fatal outcome and with an associated secondary infection. Along with this, many authors observed a rapid drop in the number of leukocytes to leukopenic figures before the death of patients (Puenso, Arnet). Also noted are the initial leukopenia in severe forms of diphtheria.
