Abstract

ACUTE RHEUMATIC FEVER (ARF) occurs after an untreated group-A β-streptococcal hemolytic infection of the throat. It is an inflammatory disease of children and young adults but it also includes adults. ARF is a multi-system disease that may involve heart, joints, central nerve system, skin, kidney and pulmonary (1,2). There is no single diagnosis factor and the diagnosis of ARE relies on combinations of many clinical and laboratory findings (3,4). The first step in treatment is the eradication of the streptococcus to prevent subsequent episode of acute streptococcal laryngitis and recurrent ARF (2,5). ARF was not studied in Khorassan (Iran) and there was no updated information on the subject. In this paper results of comprehensive study of ARF in adults of Khorassan is reported. In our study total of 56 patients, including 39 males (70%) and 17 females (30%), with ARF were considered. Their age ranged from 14 to 50 years. Revised JONES CRITERIA were our primary Guidelines for diagnosis. The incidence of cardit in this group of patients with ARF was 40.30%. In all incidence cardit occurred within the first 3 weeks of attack. 92.98% of patients with ARF manifested Arthritis. It mostly involved knees, ankles and wrists. Our study is of prospective type for the period 1997-2000. The results were compared with similar results of a developed country.
