Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
Although multiple cases of acute rheumatism have been observed to follow waves of streptococcal infection in institutions (see Green, p. 369) there is doubt as to whether acuter heumatism itself becomes epidemic under such circumstances or whether the element of infectivity lies in the preliminary throat infection as concluded by Sheldon (1931).
