| Popis: | THE INITIAL phase of acute sore throat caused by group A hemolytic streptococci in young men has been previously described elsewhere.1Special attention was paid to the symptoms, signs and results of clinicopathologic and bacteriologic studies. Exudative tonsillitis was a frequent manifestation of streptococcic respiratory disease, but this sign was absent in many cases. Edema of the pharyngeal tissues and tender adenitis in the anterior cervical region were emphasized as abnormalities which were of value in the recognition of infection by hemolytic streptococci. Atypical cases were described, in which no definite evidence of streptococcic infection could be obtained by clinical study in the absence of serial antibody determinations. A cutaneous rash was associated with streptococcic sore throat in only a few cases. This paper has been prepared for the purpose of recounting the subsequent events which occurred in this group of patients during the initial phase of the disease |
