c0239f4b-172d-4f45-a052-e394499c42fe | Infection by one strain of haemolytic streptococcus does not protect a patient against infection by another, and the so-called relapse is, probably, a fresh infection by a streptococcus differing serologically from that of the primary infection. Last year we had 10 cases in which a so-called "secondary" rash appeared i... |
5942672e-9b0c-4cc0-ba4d-eaf06a157270 | Although it is possible that some of the "return" cases may be due to a recent infection with a fresh type, it is not likely that this would explain all the cases. When a probable re-infection occurs in hospital there are certain symptoms which presumably are caused by the re-infection. For instance, it is stated that ... |

73ef8abf-425c-4522-a1b2-1b3e39ccbe2d | It has been pointed out by some observers that the disease occurs in waves, and the figures of 1937 and 1938 bear this out at present. There was only a small increase in the number of cases in 1937, and actually a decrease in 1938. It is to be hoped that cases are now on a steady decline and it will be interesting to s... |
