Rheumatic Heart disease. It develops because of an unusual immune reaction that occurs within 5 weeks after an untreated beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection. The infection starts as "strep throat" or a UTI but progresses to the creation of antibodies that react with the collagen to cause inflammation in the joints, skin, brain, and heart. During a first rheumatic fever, about half of those affected develop heart inflammation, but most have a complete recovery. However, in some people the heart valves are damaged and scars form.
