“…The APSRs that showed the highest positive indexes in the confidence intervale, independently of any correlation, were: a)antistreptolysin-O (n = 43) was high in 60.46% (confidence interval (CI) = 45.86 to 75.06%)), when the normal limit was considered up to 250 units; considering the normal limit of up to 333 units, therefore considering high titers starting at 400 units, the percentage of positivity fell to about half of the previous value (37.2%); b) copper (n = 39) appeared as the most altered APSR in our casuistics, with 94.97% (CI = 81.0 to 98.0%) of high values; the ceruloplasmin (n = 40) kept pace with copper and was increased in 90.0% (CI = 80.7 to 99.3%; c) the serum proteinogram (n = 24) showed patterns similar to those of the RF, that is, decrease in albumin in 66.66% and increase in alpha-2-globulin fraction in 91.60% (CI = 30.00 to 70.00%) of the cases; a simultaneous alteration of these two fractions observed in 11 cases (45.83%, CI = 25.9 to 65.76%); gamma-globulin, opposing the initial acute rheumatic patterns showed itself to be quite high 83.33% (CI = 68.43 to 98.23%); d)magnesium (n = 38) decreased in 86.84% (CI = 76.09 to 97.59%), increased in 4 cases (10.52%, CI = 2.5 to 25.0%) and was normal in one case (2.64%,); e)sulphur (like SO4 ion) was increased in 71.79% of the cases (CI = 57.68 to 85.90%); f) the cerebrospinal fluid's proteinogram (n = 13) showed an increase of prealbumin in 6 cases (46.15%); g)the EEG, during the acute phase (n = 42) showed anormality in 45.24% of the cases (CI = 30.19 to 60.29%); part of these anormalities persisted up to the phase of remission, when from 34 EEG only 29.41% (CI = 14.11 to 44.71%) showed anormalities (10 cases); among these, two were "disorganization of the alpha rhythm", one of which normalized rapidly, another showed only asymmetry and may be considered normal; there remained then only 7 cases in the remission phase, with persistent anormalities, which however, are discussible as to their pathologic significance in the ones labeled as "slow for the age" and "paroxystic dysrhytmia by slow waves" in the occipital areas, in view of the age group to which they belong (4 to 11 years). …”
