Abstract

In an ongoing study of streptococcal skin infection and acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) begun in 1964, C′3 determinations were done in 784 patients. There were 126 patients with acute poststreptococcal nephritis, 172 of their siblings, and 486 patients with uncomplicated impetigo from families without an index case of nephritis.
