26. Ethnic differences in mortality from acute rheumatic fever and chronic rheumatic heart disease in New Mexico, 1958-1982.
To examine time trends and differences in mortality rates from acute rheumatic fever and chronic rheumatic heart disease in New Mexico's Hispanic, American Indian, and non-Hispanic white populations, we analyzed vital records data for 1958 through 1982. Age-adjusted mortality rates for acute rheumatic fever were low and showed no consistent temporal trends a

28. Human heart sarcolemmal sheath antibodies in children with non-suppurative sequelae of group A streptococcal infections: a follow up study.
The kinetics of the human heart sarcolemmal sheath antibody were studied in children with acute rheumatic fever who had no carditis, children with acute rheumatic fever who had carditis and developed rheumatic heart disease, and in children with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. The children with rheumatic fever and those who developed valvular hea

29. Evaluation of suppressor immune regulatory function in idiopathic congestive cardiomyopathy and rheumatic heart disease.
Several diseases with autoimmune features have recently been shown to be characterised by defects in suppressor cell immune regulation. Aberrant immune mechanisms of primary importance have been sought but not yet demonstrated for idiopathic congestive cardiomyopathy and rheumatic heart disease. We tested whether defective immunoregulatory function might exp

32. An epidemiological study of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease in Lagos.
In Lagos 12 755 schoolchildren aged between six and 12 years were screened for evidence of rheumatic heart disease and showed a prevalence rate of 0.03%. Group C (27.7%) and group G (47.3%) predominated in the throat and in cases of pharyngitis, while group A predominated on the skin. Two hundred and sixty-six cases of pharyngitis were recorded, 70 (26.4%) w

33. Coagulation studies in rheumatic heart disease.
The clotting characteristics of pulmonary and systemic blood were studied in 10 patients with chronic rheumatic mitral valve disease complicated by atrial fibrillation and in seven patients with aortic valve disease in sinus rhythm. A haemostatic basis for the association of rheumatic mitral valve disease with thrombotic emboli was sought. Both groups of pat

34. Cellular Immune Responses to Extracellular Streptococcal Products in Rheumatic Heart Disease
The lymphocyte transformation responses to purified preparations of two extracellular products of group A streptococci (blastogen A and nuclease B), to phytohemagglutinin, and to Candida albicans antigen were measured in tonsillar and peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and suitably matched nonrheumatic (control) sub
