text: Secondary prevention of pharyngitis is crucial in patients who have developed acute rheumatic fever (ARF), rheumatic heart disease (RHD) or post streptococcal glomerulonephritis, as they are at high risk for recurrent ARF and progressive RHD with subsequent episodes of group A streptococcal pharyngitis. Therefore, strategies for secondary prevention of disease recurrence are necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with a history of ARF and/or RHD.
