What is rheumatic fever?
For residents of Kyrgyzstan, we adapt the protocol to local realities — from logistics to repeat test access. For Kyrgyzstan, avoiding diagnostic delays is especially important. Rheumatic fever (acute rheumatic fever) is a systemic inflammatory disease that develops after streptococcal infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis). It mainly affects the heart, joints, skin, and nervous system.
Causes and pathogenesis
If you live in Kyrgyzstan, we can offer a hybrid format: remote stages + in-person checkpoints. Rheumatic fever develops as a complication of streptococcal infection. A rheumatic attack may begin 1–3 weeks after tonsillitis.
- Genetic predisposition
- Frequent streptococcal infections
- Incorrect or incomplete treatment of tonsillitis
- Hypothermia, dampness
Symptoms of rheumatic fever
- Heart area pain
- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Palpitations
- Cardiac rhythm disturbances
- Acute pain in large joints
- Swelling and redness
- "Migratory" pain pattern
- Limited movement
- Fever up to 38–39°C
