Keywords:
acute rheumatic fever, antistreptolysin-O, rheumatic nodules, choreaAbstract
This scientific article comprehensively examines the clinical and immunological characteristics of acute rheumatic fever in children of various ages, including its characteristic symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment methods. The physiological and morphological immaturity of children's bodies increases their susceptibility to inflammatory processes. Research shows that rheumatic fever in adolescence often presents with an atypical clinical form, early cardiac involvement, late detection, and the presence of immunological disorders. The study's findings highlight the importance of early diagnosis and preventive measures.
