Abstract

Acute rheumatic fever is a non-purulent inflammatory disease that occurs following infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Although its incidence has decreased in modern societies today, it remains one of the leading causes of acquired cardiac disorders in developing countries. This article reports a case of a patient who presented to the hospital with severe chest pain, developed joint pain in the following days, and was diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever during follow-up. This case underscores that acute rheumatic fever may present with varied symptoms, and that a thorough history, physical examination, and echocardiography are crucial for accurate differential diagnosis.

Özet

Akut romatizmal ateş, Streptococcus pyogenes enfeksiyonlarından sonra meydana gelen, pürülan olma-yan inflamatuvar bir hastalıktır. Günümüzde modern toplumlarda görülme sıklığı azalmış olsa da, geliş-mekte olan ülkelerde kazanılmış kardiyak bozuklukların başlıca nedenlerinden biri olmaya devam et-mektedir. Bu yazıda şiddetli göğüs ağrısıyla hastane başvurusu olan, ilerleyen günlerde eklem ağrıları gelişen izlem ve takiplerinde akut romatizmal ateş tanısı alan bir olgu rapor edilmiştir. Bu olgu ışığında akut romatizmal ateşin farklı semptomlarla gelebileceği ve detaylı anamnez, fizik muayene ve ekokardi-yografi ile ayırıcı tanıya gidebilmenin önemi vurgulanmıştır.
