A patient with rheumatic endocarditis is admitted to the hospital.
It is possible to avoid rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever and, thus, rheumatic heart disease can be prevented by correctly diagnosing and treating streptococcal pharyngitis.
For a precise diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis, a throat culture is required if the symptoms are present. Unusual cardiac rhythms will be confirmed by an electrophysiological test. An ECG will track any irregularities in the heart's rhythm, not identify endocarditis. A full blood count will give information for therapy but will not confirm the endocarditis diagnosis.
The betahaemolytic Streptococcus of group A, which is commonly found in the mouth, dental granulomas, dental abscesses, paradontosis, and other diseases including chronic tonsillitis, is the primary cause of this illness.
