Meyerhof on one occasionfound diphtheria bacilli along with them, and after the Koch-Weeksbacillus had disappeared these others caused the formation of a slightpseudo-membrane. Morax reports a Koch-Weeks infection as super-added to the exanthematous irritation of the conjunctiva in an epidemicof measles.
