While making some functional tests in nephritis in the spring of 1915, it occurred to us that scarlet fever was a condition which offered an exceptional opportunity to study the functional renal changes in nephritis in the human being, from before the onset throughout the various clinical phases of the condition, with particular attention to the time relationship.
