| Popis: | BETWEEN September, 1964, and April, 1966, 720 patients with acute glomerulonephritis were admitted to the General Hospital in San Fernando from the rural areas of South Trinidad, West Indies. Previous outbreaks of nephritis had occurred in the same region in 1952 and 1958.1 The nephritis in the earlier outbreaks had conformed clinically to that usually associated with streptococcal infections in children. A large number of impetiginous sores in 1952, and of rash followed by desquamation in 1958, had further suggested a streptococcal origin. Bacterial cultures and streptococcal antibody studies were not obtained, however, and thus the cause was not determined. . . . |
