- Diphtheritic exudate a more severe form of fibrinous exudate in which there is considerable necrosis of the underlying tissues.
- Diptheritic exudate is firmly adherent to the underlying tissue.
- Attempts at removal cause tearing of this tissue>
- Commonly seen with internal surface fungal infections.
- E.g. in the nose of the dog and the guttural pouch of the horse.
- Fungal toxins penetrate the underlying tissue causing coagulation necrosis.
