Because many patients with epipharyngitis suffer from latent inflammation with few local symptoms, in spite of severe over-all body symptoms, we can find very little literature regarding observation and description of this inflammation.Several findings on epipharyngitis and relationship between rheumatism and epipharyngitis were investigated and mutual relationship was found between the treatment of epipharyngitis and the improvement of rheumatic symptoms.The cases are classified from Stage I to Stage IV according to Steinbrockers classification.Six cases of Stage I improved in all their body symptoms as arthralgia improved. One of the 2 cases of Stage II improved somewhat but the other did not.Out of the 3 cases of Stage III, one case improved to a certain degree. Two cases out of the 3 with rheumatic fever improved and the other showed decrease in frequency of attacks.
