Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Rheumatic Diseases
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology

Context:

  • Sidenham's chorea is a classic manifestation of acute rheumatic fever.
  • The incidence of rheumatic fever has significantly decreased globally.
  • This decline complicates the diagnosis of Sidenham's chorea.

Purpose:

  • To report on recent cases of Sidenham's chorea.
  • To emphasize the continued clinical relevance of this condition.
  • To illustrate typical symptomatology and clinical course.

Summary:

  • Eight cases of Sidenham's chorea (5 male, 3 female; ages 7-13) were observed between 1988-1992.
  • Patients presented with characteristic symptoms of the disorder.
  • The clinical evolution in these cases was favorable with appropriate management.

Impact:

  • Highlights the persistent occurrence of Sidenham's chorea despite declining rheumatic fever rates.
  • Underscores the importance of recognizing Sidenham's chorea for timely intervention.
  • Demonstrates that effective therapeutic strategies exist for this condition.
