Rheumatic fever is actually your body's severe inflammatory reaction. It is first caused by an infection with Streptococcus bacteria.
it's kind of a late complication, so that even with treatment with antibiotics, the heart is often damaged, and you may still have joint pains, etc.
Streptococcus pyogenes, also known as Group A Streptococcus, is the bacterial organism responsible for causing rheumatic fever.
Streptococcus is a bacterium which is commonly found in the throat. It can give you strep throat, rheumatic fever, scarlet fever, or tonsillitis. There are two groups, group A and B
The streptozyme test is used to detect antibodies in the blood that are associated with various streptococcal infections, including strep throat and rheumatic fever. It helps diagnose these infections and determine the appropriate treatment.
Hypertension is not a pathogen; it is a condition characterized by high blood pressure. It is typically a result of lifestyle factors, genetics, or underlying health conditions, rather than being caused by a pathogen such as a virus or bacteria.
Clinical manifestations of Streptococcus Group A infection can include sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and sometimes a rash called scarlet fever. In severe cases, complications like rheumatic fever or poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis can occur. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is essential to prevent these complications.
The scientific name for rheumatic fever is acute rheumatic fever.
