A culture positive case of streptococcal pharyngitis with typical tonsillar exudate in a 16-year-old. The disease typically develops two to four weeks after a throat infection. Symptoms include: fever, painful joints with those joints affected changing with time, involuntary muscle movements, and occasionally a characteristic non-itchy rash known as erythema marginatum. The heart is involved in about half of the cases. Damage to the heart valves usually occurs only after multiple attacks but may occasionally occur after a single case of<unk> . The damaged valves may result in heart failure and also increase the risk of atrial fibrillation and infection of the valves.
