Synopsis
A detailed, evidence-driven exploration of rheumatism's origins and its impact on heart, brain, and joints.
This edition also highlights how infectious clues shaped understanding of the disease.
Originally published in 1914, this volume compiles the major investigations by F. J. Poynton and colleagues into the cause, pathology, and clinical manifestations of rheumatic fever. It surveys the shift from clinical observation to laboratory-based evidence, and it traces how ideas about the infectious origin of rheumatism influenced treatment and public health.The book covers the evolution of ideas on the role of an infectious diplococcus, and it discusses the links to chorea, endocarditis, and heart damage. It includes discussions of experiments in animals and the careful study of heart and nervous system tissue. It also considers how these findings could inform clinical practice and prevention.
- How infection is connected to rheumatic fever and chorea
- Experimental work in animals that tested disease ideas
- Post-mortem pathology of the heart and nervous system
- Practical implications for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
