Strep throat and scarlet fever are caused by an infection with streptococcus (strep-toe-KOK-us) bacteria. Rheumatic fever most often affects children ages 5 to 15. Rheumatic fever can cause permanent damage to the heart, including damaged heart valves and heart failure. Treatment can ease pain, reduce damage from inflammation and prevent a recurrence of rheumatic fever. Symptoms Rheumatic fever symptoms result from inflammation in the heart, joints, skin or central nervous system. There may be few symptoms or several. Symptoms can change during the course of the disease. The onset of rheumatic fever usually occurs about 2 to 4 weeks after a strep throat infection. Rheumatic fever signs and symptoms can include: Fever Painful and tender joints — most often in the knees, ankles, elbows and wrists Pain in one joint that migrates to another joint Red, hot or swollen joints Chest pain Fatigue Flat or slightly raised, painless rash with a ragged edge Heart murmur Jerky, uncontrollable body movements (Sydenham chorea) — most often in the hands, feet and face Outbursts of unusual behavior, such as crying or inappropriate laughing, that accompanies Sydenham chorea Small, painless bumps beneath the skin. Treatment for rheumatic fever may include: Antibiotics. Penicillin or another antibiotic is typically prescribed to treat the strep bacteria. After the first antibiotic treatment is fully finished, a provider typically prescribes another course of antibiotics to prevent recurrence of rheumatic fever. Preventive treatment will likely continue through age 21 or until a child completes a minimum five-year course of treatment, whichever is longer. People who have had heart inflammation during rheumatic fever might need to continue preventive antibiotic treatment for 10 years or longer. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Aspirin or naproxen (Naprosyn, Naprelan, Anaprox DS) can help reduce inflammation, fever and pain. If symptoms are severe or a child doesn't get better with anti-inflammatory medicines, a corticosteroid might be prescribed. Don't give a child aspirin unless a care provider tells you to do so. Antiseizure drugs. Medications such as valproic acid or carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol, others) may be used to treat severe involuntary movements caused by Sydenham chorea. #bscnursing #bsc3rdyear #bscnotes #gnm #gnmnursing_courses #gnmanm2023 #gnm_admission2023 #rheumatic #mayankstudyhub #osmosis #drnajeeblectures #khanacademy
