Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease; incidence in California.

The statistics quoted in this and other published reports appear to substantiate the impression that rheumatic fever in California, although still an important public health problem which varies widely from one locality to another, is of lower incidence and perhaps of more benign character than in most other parts of the United States. It also appears that in California aortic insufficiency may be of higher relative incidence and occurs more frequently as a clinically diagnosable sequel of rheumatic fever than does classical mitral stenosis. Congenital defects of the heart constitute a large proportion of the cases of organic heart disease in children and young adults in this state.
