Rheumatic Fever is an inflammatory disease that can develop after an infection with Streptococcus bacteria, commonly known for causing strep throat. It primarily affects children and can lead to serious complications, particularly involving the heart, joints, skin, and nervous system. Symptoms may include fever, joint pain, and rash. The condition occurs when the body's immune response to the Streptococcus infection mistakenly attacks its own tissues. If not treated promptly, Rheumatic Fever can result in long-term damage to the heart, known as rheumatic heart disease. Early diagnosis and treatment of strep throat can help prevent this serious complication.
