THE RELATION BETWEEN HEART AND JOINT DISEASE INCLUDING "RHEUMATOID HEART DISEASE" AND CHRONIC POST-RHEUMATIC ARTHRITIS (TYPE JACCOUD)

Abstract

This study sets out to re-examine the relationship between rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis in the light of a series of cases, studied mainly at the Postgraduate Medical School, on which biopsy or autopsy material is available. It will be concluded that there is every justification for regarding these two as separate diseases.
