last month.
Evidence supports a strong relationship between infection with Group A
streptococci and subsequent rheumatic fever (usually within 2-6 weeks). Therefore,
the history of playmates recovering from strep throat would indicate that the child
diagnosed with rheumatic fever most likely also had strep throat. Sometimes, such
an infection has no clinical symptoms.
