Abstract:
:In an incomplete study in 1965 microscopic haematuria in the second or third week after acute pharyngitis was found four times more often in patients with either microbiological or clinical evidence of dual infection with both group A streptococci and a virus than in patients with evidence only of infection with group A streptococci. Prospective studies of the role of viruses in the aetiology of transient haematuria and of acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis are feasible in general practice and would be most productive if concentrated in children 5-9 years of age.
