Data were reviewed on 2805 patients with primary glomerulonephritis admitted to a south Indian hospital in 1972-1987. A decrease in the proportion of endocapillary proliferative, crescentic and mesangial proliferative types was noted. There was also a decrease in group A beta-haemolytic streptococcal isolates among the 24,657 throat swab cultures made during the same period. This suggests a decreasing prevalence of nephritogenic streptococcal infections in this tropical region.
对1972年至1987年入住印度南部一家医院的2805例原发性肾小球肾炎患者的数据进行了回顾。发现毛细血管内增生性、新月体性和系膜增生性类型的比例有所下降。在同一时期进行的24657次咽拭子培养中，A组β溶血性链球菌分离株也有所减少。这表明在这个热带地区，致肾炎性链球菌感染的患病率正在下降。
