Abstract

The general principle that recurrent metastatic infections may result from chronic local infections seems well established, and the search for chronic hidden infections has become routine in the examination of patients, particularly those afflicted with arthritis and iritis. In many cases the removal of such chronic local infections is followed by freedom from recurrences of the metastatic lesions in eyes or joints, and the relief of the patient from his disability. In other cases, in many of which the clinical appearances of the lesions in the joints are indistinguishable from those of the favorable group, the removal of chronic local infections, if found, fails to free the patient from recurrent lesions, and the disease progresses. While much has been accomplished in the treatment of arthritis and similar metastatic infections, the study of the symptomatology and mechanism of chronic infections is by no means complete, and offers an interesting field for
