5-15 yrs
Jones criteria - how we diagnose acute RF?
2 major or 1 minor or 1major + 2 minor
in all must be evidance of recent GAS infection
Recent infection- positive throat culture or RAPD / ALSO or Anti- DNAse B / antihyloronidase
What are the major critera of Jones?
J- Joint = migratory arthritis
O = Pancarditis
N = Nodules (subcutenous, mainly on joints)
E = Erythema marginatum
S = Syndheam chorea (could also present as cry/ lugher
What are the minor criteria of acute RF?
- Fever
- Arthralgia - only of no major Joint criteria
- CRP / ESR
- prolong PR- only if no major pancarditis criteria
Which Ab can be tested to proove GAS infection
Anti-DNAse B
Anti-strptolysin O
In which 3 situations we can diagnose acute RF without filling criterias?
- Syndheam Chorea is the only major criteria
- indolent Carditis in a pt coming monthes after disease
- reccurent RF in High risk populations
Tx for Acute RF with Syndenham chorea?
Penecillin + phenobarbital
How to prevent reccurent RF?
PPX penecillin G IM
until age 21 or until 40 if theres a valvular damage
w/o carditis- 5y or until 21 (the longest)
with carditis w/o residual disease- 10y or until 21
wth residual disease- 10y or 40 , consider for life
Tx for Acute RF?
- penecillin / amoxicillin PO 10 days or IM peneciilin one time
-
migratory polyarthritis or/with carditis- aspirin PO for several weeks
3.** caditis, cardiomegaly, heart failure-** Steroids
macrolide if theres an allergy to penecilin (azitromycin, clncamycin, erythromycin)
severe carditis- treat like HF
