Programs administered by health departments and heart associations for control of streptococcal and poststreptococcal disease differ greatly from state to state. The year 1974 was used as a representative year when studying the variety of state policies and programs regarding surveillance of streptococcal disease, primary and secondary prevention of rheumatic fever, and prevention of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. A uniform national policy for streptococcal control is desirable but should be based on evidence not now available concerning the impact of various elements of control programs on morbidity and mortality.
卫生部门和心脏协会实施的控制链球菌及链球菌感染后疾病的项目在各州之间差异很大。在研究各州关于链球菌疾病监测、风湿热一级和二级预防以及链球菌感染后肾小球肾炎预防的政策和项目多样性时，选取了1974年作为代表年份。制定统一的全国性链球菌控制政策是可取的，但应基于目前尚不具备的有关控制项目各要素对发病率和死亡率影响的证据。
