The follow-up of the patients who suffered diphtheria in 1956 and 1957 was performed, and the following conclusions were obtained.
Adaptation of the human body to the internal environment is maintained by an autoadaptation mechanism regulated through the biological binary digit. The autoadaptation mechanism consists of the accomodation mechanism and the defense mechanism; the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is fundamental for the accomodation mechanism, constitutes main factors for the constitutional condition of human body, and the imbalance of the ANS causes acute adaptational disturbances. Hosts with an imbalance of the ANS often fall into acute adaptational disturbances in acute diseases such as infection, inflammation and poisoning. A series of acute to chronic adaptational disturbances occurs depending upon various combination of the degree of imbalance of the ANS of hosts and the intensity of the offensive power of stimulant factors.
