Summary Serum‐total acid phosphatase (TAP) and L(+)‐tartaric‐acid‐inhibited acid‐phosphatase (TIAP) activities have been determined in 95 and 55 children respectively, suffering from a variety of diseases. It was found that in a certain number of children with rheumatic fever, diseases of the liver, lungs, kidneys and bones the variations in total‐serum acid phosphatase were considerably greater than in normal children. The activity of TIAP was significantly increased in rheumatic fever.
