Abstract

In order to make a positive diagnosis of Vincent's infection it is necessary that a clinical diagnosis of the disease be substantiated by a thorough microscopic examination. This is not a generality; it is a hard and fast rule. Many cases may be correctly diagnosed without the aid of the microscope, but on the other hand, many cases cannot be properly classified unless microscope bears out the clinical findings. Trained men are often completely misled by some of these cases if the clinical aspect alone is studied. It is a well-known fact that other diseases of the oral mucous membrane may simulate a Vincent's infection and though the clinical diagnosis is given, the microscopic picture is essential in making differential diagnosis.
