However, the first series of cases in the English literature was described in 1918, when Geiger (2) reported 36 cases observed during an outbreak of rubella in North Little Rock, Ark. In four of these cases, hemolytic streptococci were cultured from the knee joint. One patient developed a permanent joint deformity, suggesting that some of the cases represented a complicating septic arthritis and not the benign arthritis we associate with rubella.In 1940 an epidemic...References1.
