Rheumatic fever affects primarily children between 6-15 and occurs approximately 20 days (usually within 1 to 5 weeks) after strep throat or scarlet fever. In up to a third of cases, the underlying streptococcal infection may not have caused any symptoms. The rate of development of acute rheumatic fever in individuals with untreated streptococcal infection is estimated to be 3%. Persons who have suffered a case of rheumatic fever have a tendency to develop flare-ups with repeated streptococcal infections.
Rheumatic fever is common worldwide and is responsible for many cases of damaged heart valves. While it is far less common in the U.S. since the beginning of the 20th century, there have been a few outbreaks since the 1980s.
Rheumatic heart disease is a complication of rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever can damage the heart valves, causing them to fail to close properly or not open enough. When a valve fails to close properly, it allows blood to leak backward. When a valve does not open enough, the heart must pump harder to force blood through the narrowed opening. When damage to the heart is permanent, the condition is called rheumatic heart disease.
