Abstract
A 2-year study, relating the complement activity of serum from rheumatic fever, rheumatoid conditions and nephritis with that of gastric disorders shows a wider range of values for the rheumatic fever and rheumatoid series than for the gastric controls. Even greater variation was found with nephritis. While the results did not permit conclusions as to the relationship between complement and clinical phenomena, it appears probable that some relationship does exist.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
