Peculiarities of the Clinical Course of Oxidative Protein and Lipid Modification in Children with Acute Rheumatic Fever.

Background: Measuring indicators of oxidative protein and lipid metabolism is a diagnostic criterion of oxidative metabolism disruption at the early stages of chronic somatic pathology formation. Purpose was to assess the status of protein and lipid oxidative metabolism as a pathogenic link of acute rheumatic fever by measuring markers of early lesion.

Methods: Research included measurement of lipid peroxidation products and efficiency of antioxidant protection.
