What is rheumatic fever?
If you live in Russia, we can offer a hybrid format: remote stages + in-person checkpoints. 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: what patients from Russia should know
We advise patients from Russia not to interrupt the course — even when feeling better, checkpoints matter. Rheumatic fever develops as a complication of streptococcal infection. Evidence from Russia shows early therapy yields better outcomes. 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 — guidance for from Russia
- 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
- General weakness, malaise
- Increased sweating
