Experience of combined treatment of rheumatic and infectious polyarthritis

Abstract

On the basis of a large experimental material A.D. Speransky came to the conclusion that the basis of the development of acute rheumatism, as well as other infectious diseases, such as scarlatina, diphtheria, etc., are the primary pathological changes in the nerve cell, and the rheumatic lesion of organs is already a secondary reflection of this process in the periphery (joints, etc.).
