Ревматизм: контекст для пациентов Kazakhstan
Ревматизм как осложнение стрептококковой ангины исторически был распространён в Kazakhstan; ограниченный доступ к кардиологу и ревматологу в малых городах Almaty до сих пор приводит к позднему выявлению порока сердца.
Сочетание ревматизма и анемии у подростков Almaty на фоне малого веса встречается в бедных районах Kazakhstan; лечение включает восстановление питания параллельно с противовоспалительной терапией.
