One hundred and fourty-eight rheumatic fever patients and 444 controls matched by age, sex and place of residence, were interviewed about socio-economic and some other variables. Socio-economic factors recognized as risk factors for rheumatic fever (flat dampness, more than 2 persons per room, sleeping in bed with other person, low education of mother and undernourishment) were of lesser importance for persons with frequent sore throat in comparison to persons without frequent sore throat. According to the results obtained it seems that there is positive connection between host's propensity to clinical manifestation of throat infection and manifestation of rheumatic fever. The lesser susceptibility the more additional factors are needed for Rheumatic Fever to occur. The relative importance of socio-economic factors in rheumatic fever occurrence depends on host's susceptibility to infection.
对148名风湿热患者以及按年龄、性别和居住地点匹配的444名对照者，就社会经济状况和其他一些变量进行了访谈。被认为是风湿热危险因素的社会经济因素（住房潮湿、每间房住两人以上、与他人同床睡觉、母亲受教育程度低和营养不良），与无频繁咽痛的人相比，对频繁咽痛的人来说重要性较低。根据所得结果，似乎宿主咽喉感染临床表现的倾向与风湿热的表现之间存在正相关。易感性越低，风湿热发生所需的额外因素就越多。社会经济因素在风湿热发生中的相对重要性取决于宿主对感染的易感性。
