Determination of Group A Streptococcal Anti-M Type-Specific Antibody in Sera of Rheumatic Fever Patients after 45 Years
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 09/25/09
Bencivenga JF et al. – Group A streptococcal M type–specific protective antibodies–especially their persistence in humans–are incompletely understood. Such information is essential for understanding the epidemiology and pathogenesis of these infections and their sequelae and is equally crucial for producing a group A streptococcal vaccine.
