title: [Etiological and clinical aspects of chorea syndrome in children in the light of several cases].
abstract: Six cases of the choreic syndrome in children are described with discussion on their aetiology: in 3 cases the cause was probably neuroinfection, in 1 case the syndrome developed after varicella and seemed to be a cause of neuroallergy, in the following case the aetiology was vascular, and in one case no aetiological diagnosis was made. None of these children had any manifestations of acute rheumatic fever.
