Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
There have been numerous reports stating that treatment of acute rheumatic fever with either aspirin or corticosteroids does not alter the long-term outcome of rheumatic heart disease. Yet, it should be emphasized that most of these studies were carried out with the first generic corticosteroids before the advent of the more active and more potent ...

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2001
Rheumatic fever is a multisystem inflammatory disease that occurs as a delayed sequel to group A streptococcal pharyngitis. It is less common than it was 50 years ago but is still a major cause of heart disease in developing areas of the world. The relationship between the site of infection, the type of causative organism, and susceptibility of the ...

Pediatrics In Review, 2021
The incidence of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is 8 to 51 per 100,000 people worldwide. It most commonly affects children 5 to 15 years of age after a group A streptococcal infection. Overcrowding and poor socioeconomic conditions are directly proportional to the incidence of ARF.

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1993
The diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever has become difficult. A growing number of diseases that were not recognized in the past could fulfill its diagnostic criteria. We emphasize its changing incidence, current knowledge of its pathogenesis, and lesser known clinical features such as pneumonitis, encephalitis and glomerulonephritis.

The Lancet, 2005
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and its chronic sequela, rheumatic heart disease (RHD), have become rare in most affluent populations, but remain unchecked in developing countries and in some poor, mainly indigenous populations in wealthy countries. More than a century of research, mainly in North America and Europe, has improved our understanding of ARF ...

Pediatric Annals, 2022
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and its sequela rheumatic heart disease remain significant causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. When caring for patients originating from a geographic setting where ARF is endemic, a high index of suspicion for ARF is indicated. Early recognition of ARF with the initiation of treatment and

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 1995
The incidence of RF and RHD in the tropics remains high, with a high proportion of children suffering from carditis with the first attack. Severe, incapacitating haemodynamic disturbances occur early. Many patients are seen with established RHD at their first visit, and the default rate is high.

The Lancet, 2018
Acute rheumatic fever is caused by an autoimmune response to throat infection with Streptococcus pyogenes. Cardiac involvement during acute rheumatic fever can result in rheumatic heart disease, which can cause heart failure and premature mortality. Poverty and household overcrowding are associated with an increased prevalence of acute rheumatic fever ...

American Heart Journal, 1938
Abstract A case of rheumatic heart disease in an infant, including necropsy observations, is reported. It is probable that first attacks of rheumatic fever frequently occur at a much earlier age than has been suspected.
