8 Rheumatic Fever Occurs following pharyngitis caused by certain strains of group A streptococcus after a latency period of 3 weeks. Children and those exposed to them are at higher risk Outbreaks may occur in crowded conditions
9 Rheumatic Fever clinical features 2 major or 1 major + 2 minor and evidence of prior Strep infection: Major criteria: carditis polyarthritis chorea erythema marginatum subcutaneous nodules Minor criteria: arthralgia fever prolonged PR interval elevated ESR or CRP Prior Strep infection: (+) throat culture, (+) rapid antigen test, elevated ASO JAMA 1992; 268: 2069
10 Rheumatic Heart Disease clinical features A well known cause of valvular heart disease Mitral stenosis present in ~65% Aortic regurgitation Mitral regurgitation Aortic stenosis isolated AV disease ~2 5% Tricuspid and pulmonic involvement less common Not thought to cause constrictive pericarditis Not thought to cause cardiomyopathy
11 Rheumatic Heart Disease A Three pronged approach 1. Primary prevention: treat Strep pharyngitis 2. Secondary prevention: prophylactic abx after RF 3. Treatment of valvular disease: medical, surgical, percutaneous
