What is rheumatic fever?
Rheumatic fever (acute rheumatic fever) is a systemic inflammatory disease that develops after streptococcal infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis). Evidence from Uzbekistan shows early therapy yields better outcomes. It mainly affects the heart, joints, skin, and nervous system.

For referrals from Uzbekistan, we emphasize transparency: every stage has a clear purpose and expected outcome. 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 for patients from Uzbekistan

- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Palpitations
- Cardiac rhythm disturbances
