The lesions are similar to those produced in experimental anaphylaxis. Klinge1demonstrated that these "rheumatic" granulomas, formerly thought to be specific for rheumatic fever, are neither specific nor constant. In rheumatic fever the predominant rôle of streptococci as allergens is undisputed. However, it has also been established that various nonbacterial agents are capable of producing similar characteristic morphologic changes as seen in various disease entities, including rheumatic fever and disseminated lupus...Bibliography1.
