Article Synopsis
- A 6-year-old boy got acute rheumatic fever following a throat infection caused by group A streptococcus.
- He received quick treatment, but still ended up with worsening rheumatic heart disease.
- Since acute rheumatic fever is rare in the U.S., it's important to diagnose it early and use echocardiograms for monitoring to prevent further heart issues.
