Rheumatic Symptoms

In order to determine the relationship of scarlatinal arthritis to rheumatic fever, 18 patients who experienced joint symptoms early in the course of scarlet fever were interviewed and examined 1 to 20 years later to establish the incidence of subsequent rheumatic symptoms. Two patients experienced definite pancarditis during the original illness, and the course of the arthritis in two additional cases was highly suggestive of rheumatic fever. Subsequent stigmata of rheumatic fever appeared in six other patients. Thus, the episode of scarlatinal arthritis probably represented rheumatic fever in eight instances, and possibly in two more. It is concluded that scarlatinal arthritis is most likely a manifestation of rheumatic fever.

The Relationship

The 36 papers included in this symposium vary greatly in both length and manner of presentation. The book will be disappointing to the expert, since few data are presented and many of the contributions are merely abstracts or opinions. There are several notable exceptions. McCarty's review on the relationship of group A streptococci to rheumatic fever is excellent, as is the review of the epidemiology of these infections by Hedlund. The pediatrician will be interested in the data of Jersild which shows that sulfonamide treatment of hospitalized cases of scarlet fever did not reduce the incidence of this disease in the nurses, whereas since 1947, when these patients received penicillin no cases have developed among the nursing staff.

The Relationship

The foregoing comparative study on the subcutaneous nodules in rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis is presented as part of an investigation which has been conducted in this clinic on the relationship of the two clinical entities, rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis. It is believed that the present study has shown that these lesions are highly characteristic of the two diseases and that they represent different phases of the same, fundamental, pathological process. However, it should be pointed out that the presence of closely related or even identical lesions in two, separate, clinical entities cannot be considered as valid evidence in support of the hypothesis that the two diseases are etiologically related. Comparative clinical studies on the relationship of rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis will be presented in a succeeding communication. These studies, as well as serological investigations on the two diseases which have been reported elsewhere (23, 24), lend further support to the conception that rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis are intimately related and possibly different responses of affected individuals to the same etiological agent.
