Electroencephalographic studies were done in rheumatic fever patients in order to determine the distribution of normal and abnormal EEG patterns in different clinical forms. The duration of EEG abnormalities related to rheumatic activity was compared with the duration of increased sedimentation rate and tachycardia. Rheumatic fever cases were divided into four groups: (1) acute active rheumatic carditis, (2) acute polyarthritis without carditis, (3) nonactive old rheumatic valvular heart disease, and (4) Sydenham's chorea. EEG findings were within normal limits in acute polyarthritis and in nonactive rheumatic valvular heart disease, but there were abnormal EEG findings in 29 per cent of chorea and in 94 per cent of active carditis cases. In active carditis all EEG changes returned to normal approximately within 8 weeks, whereas the sedimentation rate and tachycardia returned to normal within a shorter period.
对风湿热患者进行了脑电图研究，以确定不同临床类型中正常和异常脑电图模式的分布情况。将与风湿活动相关的脑电图异常持续时间与血沉加快和心动过速的持续时间进行了比较。风湿热病例分为四组：（1）急性活动性风湿性心脏病炎，（2）无心脏病炎的急性多关节炎，（3）非活动性陈旧性风湿性瓣膜性心脏病，以及（4） Sydenham舞蹈病。急性多关节炎和非活动性风湿性瓣膜性心脏病患者的脑电图结果在正常范围内，但舞蹈病患者中有29%以及活动性心脏病炎患者中有94%的脑电图结果异常。在活动性心脏病炎中，所有脑电图变化大约在8周内恢复正常，而血沉和心动过速在较短时间内恢复正常。
