摘要
Introduction. - Pseudomembranous angina are classically caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. More rarely, it caused by Corynebacterium ulcerans, sometimes carrying the diphteric exotoxine. Exegeris. - We report a new autochton case of pseudomembranous pharyngitis caused by C ulcerans, carrying the diphteric exotoxine, transmitted by a dog, complicated of velopharyngitis and hypopharyngee paralysis, then of diplitheric polyneuritis. Conclusion. - Although exceptional, diphteria must always be evoked in front of a pseudomembranous angina. The insolation of C ulcerans must make seek diphteric toxin and its complications.
