| Popis: | ConclusionThis limited bacteriological and immunological search for evidence of the presence or absence of the hemolytic streptococcus in a relatively southern city, where one type of probable hemolytic streptococcus disease (glomerulonephritis) is present in “normal” amount and other types are decreased has shown that the hemolytic streptococcus can be cultivated from the throats of a majority of individuals with acute nephritis. It has been possible to demonstrate normal carriers for the hemolytic streptococcus. Furthermore, antibody active against the soluble streptolysin (hemo-toxin) of S. kemolyticus was increased in cases of acute glomerulo-nephritis. There also was the same degree of skin reactivity to the nucleoprotein of the hemolytic streptococcus in the South as in New York. These bacteriological and immunological findings therefore substantiate the clinical data already reported and give still further evidence that acute glomerulonephritis in the South as in the North is usually the result of ... |
