    A young man with rheumatic heart disease developed sero-fibrinous pleurisy. Evidence suggested a recurrence of rheumatic fever, not tuberculosis, as the cause of his pleurisy.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Rheumatology
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a chronic condition affecting heart valves.
    • Pleurisy, inflammation of the lung lining, can have various causes.
    • Recurrent rheumatic fever can manifest with diverse clinical presentations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a rare case of sero-fibrinous pleurisy in a young patient with RHD.
    • To investigate the etiology of pleurisy in the context of RHD.
    • To explore the link between recurrent rheumatic fever and pleurisy.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a 20-year-old male.
    • Diagnostic exclusion of common causes of pleurisy, such as tuberculosis.
    • Evaluation of electrocardiographic findings (P-R interval).

  • Serological testing for anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titers.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient presented with acute sero-fibrinous pleurisy and fever.
    • Tuberculosis and other typical causes of pleurisy were ruled out.
    • Electrocardiogram showed a prolonged P-R interval.
    • Elevated anti-streptolysin titer (1920 units) indicated recent streptococcal infection.
    • Findings strongly suggested a recurrence of rheumatic fever.

    Conclusions:

    • Sero-fibrinous pleurisy can be an atypical manifestation of recurrent rheumatic fever in patients with pre-existing rheumatic heart disease.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering rheumatic fever recurrence in the differential diagnosis of pleurisy, especially in patients with a history of RHD.
    • Further investigation into the spectrum of rheumatic fever manifestations is warranted.
