A Case Report: Acute Rheumatic Fever or Something More?

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is an autoimmune response that may occur after a group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection. Subcutaneous nodules are considered a rare manifestation of acute rheumatic fever with an incidence of 0%-10%. We present a case study of a 13-year-old girl who presented to us with subcutaneous nodules and articular involvement described as a non-migratory polyarticular joint pain involving the small joints of the hands, wrist, elbows, knees, and ankles for three months with poor response to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Ibuprofen.
