Skin Infections Confirmed as a Cause of Acute Rheumatic Fever

Infection with group A streptococcus (GAS) can trigger an immune-mediated response in a small minority of people, resulting in acute rheumatic fever (ARF). ARF produces an inequitable burden of disease, with the highest rates in low and middle-income countries and among some, often indigenous-minority populations living in high-income countries. More...
