Abstract:
:This Memorandum discusses two areas of research into rheumatic disease in which it is considered international cooperation would be valuable. These are: (a) standardization and cooperative evaluation of immunological tests used in diagnosis, clinico-pathological assessment, and epidemiological work; and (b) standardization and cooperative assessment of criteria for application to disease classification, evaluation of therapeutic agents, epidemiological studies, and public health programmes.
