Lack of recovery of beta-hemolytic streptococci from the throat of 80 patients finally diagnosed as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome was again confirmed, although alpha-hemolytic streptococci were consistently isolated from all patients but one. The implications of these findings were discussed, particularly in terms of the possible role of Streptococcus pyogenes in the pathogenesis of this disease.
尽管除1名患者外,在所有患者中均持续分离出α溶血性链球菌,但最终诊断为皮肤黏膜淋巴结综合征的80例患者咽喉部未分离出β溶血性链球菌,这一情况再次得到证实。对这些发现的意义进行了讨论,特别是关于化脓性链球菌在该疾病发病机制中可能发挥的作用。
