Overview
Based on the duration of symptoms, rheumatic fever may be classified into either acute or chronic.[1] Acute rheumatic fever may be characterized by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection and cardiac lesions. Acute Rheumatic fever is diagnosed by JONES criteria.[2] Chronic rheumatic fever may be characterized by cardiac valvular lesions and mitral stenosis.
Classification
Based on the duration of symptoms, rheumatic fever may be classified into either acute or chronic.[1]
Acute
Acute rheumatic fever is generally associated with:
- Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngitis
- Lesions in the endocardium, myocardium, or pericardium
- MacCallum plaques
Chronic
Chronic rheumatic fever is generally associated with:
