Abstract
ACCORDING to modern investigations, the rheumatic and allergic inflammations are characterized by the pathologically increased activity of hyaluronidase. This enzyme hydrolyses the amorphous mucoids of the connective tissue and increases its permeability1. But it has not yet been possible to establish why the activity of hyaluronidase increases.
