Abstract

Sydenham’s chorea is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by sudden, involuntary, arrhythmic, choreic, and purposeless movements. It is a nonsuppurative sequel of group A streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis, which is known to be a common cause of chorea. According to the 1992 modified Jones criteria, acute rheumatic fever is a major criterion and is sufficient evidence on which to base a diagnosis. Despite the decreased incidence of Sydenham’s chorea, isolated cases and also sometimes epidemics may be seen. We discuss the case report with the literature and describe the history, clinical features, and management of a 11-year-old female child with Sydenham’s chorea who presented to our pediatric infectious disease department. Our aim is to make an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment as soon as possible to prevent acute rheumatic fever and to emphasize the nonsuppurative complications.

Özet

Sydenham koresi ani, istemsiz, aritmik, koreik ve amaçsız hareketlerle karakterize santral sinir sistemi hastalığıdır. Korenin sık görülen nedenlerinden olup, grup A streptokokkal tonsillofarenjitin non-süpüratif sekelidir. Sydenham koresi 1992 modifiye Jones kriterlerine göre akut romatizmal ateşin major kriterlerindendir ve tanı için yeterlidir. Agresif antibiyotik tedavisi ile Sydenham koresinin insidansı azalmasına rağmen hem izole vakalar hem de epidemiler görülebilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda çocuk enfeksiyon hastalıkları bölümüne Sydenham koresi ile başvuran 11 yaşındaki kız hastanın öyküsü, klinik özellikleri ve tedavisi literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır. Amacımız akut romatizmal ateşin önlenmesi için tanının doğru bir şekilde konularak uygun tedavinin zamanında başlanması ve nonsüpüratif komplikasyonların vurgulanmasıdır.
