The paper presents the morbidity through streptococcal angina, acute rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis in two industrial enterprises with different working conditions. This study was performed between 1968 and 1977. In enterprise A, where rheumatogenic conditions were present, streptococcal angina had an yearly attacks vaeried between 0,13 and 0,7 percent, and acute glomerulonephritis between 2,3 and 5,4 percent. In enterprise B, with usual working conditions, angina showed an yearly variation between 2,3 and 5,8 percent, acute rheumatic fever varied between 0,0 and 0,84 percent and there were no cases of acute glomerulonephritis. In two units (collectivities of students) where angina was detected by active methods and prophylactic measures were applied rigurously no post-streptococcal complications were recorded. The authors stress the effects of morbidity through streptococcal infections in adults and recommend an extension of targeted prophylactic programs in high-risk units.

Serum gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP) and alpha-amylase clearance were determined in a total group of 90 patients of whom 60 with renal diseases and 30 with extrarenal diseases. The renal patients were distributed, according to diagnosis in the following groups: acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, acute pyelonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, nephrotic syndrome and manifest chronic renal failure. The 30 controls were hospitalized for different extrarenal diseases such as: pneumonia, gastroduodenal ulcer, arterial hypertension stage I and angina pectoris. Serum GGTP assay was performed in 60 patients (40 renal patients and 20 controls) using Boehringer monotest kits and in 30 patients (20 renal patients and 10 controls) using Romanian kits (I.C.C.F.). No changes suggesting a particular type of nephropathy were observed. The results obtained by using the two types of kits for the serum GGTP assay have proved to be very close. Alpha-amylase clearance was determined in all the patients with Spofa (R.S.C.) tablets concomitantly with the urea and creatinine clearance. Important decreases of alpha-amylase clearance in concordance with decreases of urea and creatinine clearances were observed in all the patients with severe renal failure. More moderate decreases of alpha-amylase clearance were observed in the patients with acute and chronic glomerulonephritis. The utility of this clearance as a test of glomerular filtration and sometimes as a prognostic test, is discussed.
