As far back as 1884, Loeffler (59) had directed attention to the haemolytic streptococci which were more or less constantly present in the throats of acutely ill scarlet fever patients. Lemoine (58), in 1895, found streptococci alone in 93 cases when examining the mucus from 117 throats in scarlet fever, while 14 cases had streptococci in association with other organisms. The absence ot streptococci in only 5 of 701 scarlet fever patients was reported by Baginsky and Sommerfeld (3), while Ruediger (88), examining 75 throats of patients ill with this disease, found that 64 showed streptococci alone, with pneumococci and streptococci occurring together in 10 cases.
