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.

JAMA, 1963

In essence, 85% of these attacks were preceded by an infection, which if properly recognized and adequately treated could have resulted in the prevention of the rheumatic fever in these individuals.

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 ...
