Rheumatism - LoveToKnow 1911 (1705 words)
In 1900 F. Poynton and Paine isolated from eight cases of acute rheumatism in children a minute diplococcus similar to that previously described by Triboulet and by A. Wasserman, which inoculated into rabbits produced lesions of the joints and of the heart indistinguishable from those met with in acute rheumatism.
The objections which have been raised by other competent observers against this view are: (I) That this diplococcus is not found in all cases of acute rheumatism.
It would be out of place here to enter into the merits of this controversy; suffice it to say that the objections raised do not appear to be cogent enough to invalidate the conclusions arrived at by the authors of the germ theory.
