The basis of this paper is the analysis of the bacteriological examination of the fauces of a series of 1019 patients admitted to hospital as cases of scarlatina and a consideration of their subsequent clinical histories. A practice was made of swabbing the fauces of scarlet fever cases without any selection on their admission to hospital. In all cases one bacteriological examination was made and in a number of the cases the examination was repeated.
