It described the characteristics of the 431 rheumatic children and adolescents who were studied in a large metropolitan area, the organization of the clinic, the procedures used to assign patients to the three prophylactic regimens in a statistically comparable manner, and certain preliminary results.The present report will assess the effectiveness of the three prophylactic regimens during the study, the numbers and rates of streptococcal infections and rheumatic fever recurrences, and the nature...References1.
