ANTISTREPTOLYSIN AND STREPTOCOCCAL ANTIHYALURONIDASE TITERS IN SERA OF HORMONE-TREATED AND CONTROL PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RHEUMATIC FEVER

[摘要] Streptococcal antihyaluronidase and antistreptolysin O titers were determined at the time of hospitalization and 1 month later for patients with acute rheumatic fever included in a clinical study of the effects of ACTH and cortisone on this disease. The sera of the groups of patients receiving cortisone and ACTH showed a greater fall in serum titer in this interval in both tests than did the symptomatically treated control patients.
