In 136 patients there was evidence of carditis but no valvulitis ESR and ASOT within normal limits. In 20 patients there was evidence of valvulitis with normal ESR and ASOT. Recurrent acute rheumatic fever was noted in 5.3% and bacterial endocarditis in 4.8%. Of these 249 1’ 17 died giving a total known mortality of 6.8%.
