A pseudomembrane or false membrane is a membrane like collection of mixed material that collects on top of the mucous membranes of diptheria patients. It consists of coagulated fibrin (one of the components of platelets), the diptheria bacteria, and leukocytes. They also cause an external symptom of seeming thickening of the neck.
