Cardiac lesions like those characteristic of rheumatic fever in man have been induced in a small portion of rabbits that were subjected to successive focal infections with group A streptococci of several serological types. Fresh myocardial interstitial granulomata so induced bear striking resemblance to Aschoff bodies, the histologic hallmarks of human active rheumatic fever; and the fresh and healed lesions found in the cardiac valves, endocardia, epicardia, blood vessels, and aortae of some of these rabbits are homologous with those characteristic of rheumatic fever in man. These experimental myocardial and vascular lesions and those of human rheumatic fever differ in several important respects from the lesions of experimental and human serum disease.
在一小部分连续受到几种血清型A组链球菌局部感染的兔子身上,诱发了类似人类风湿热特征性的心脏病变。如此诱发的新鲜心肌间质肉芽肿与阿绍夫小体极为相似,而阿绍夫小体是人类活动性风湿热的组织学特征;在其中一些兔子的心脏瓣膜、心内膜、心外膜、血管和主动脉中发现的新鲜和愈合病变与人类风湿热的特征性病变相同。这些实验性心肌和血管病变以及人类风湿热病变在几个重要方面与实验性和人类血清病的病变不同。
