Abstract
Rheumatic fever is still currently a prevalent disease, especially in developing countries. Triggered by a Group A β‐hemolytic Streptococcus infection, the disease may affect genetically predisposed patients. Rheumatic carditis is the most important of its clinical manifestations, which can generate incapacitating sequelae of great impact for the individual and for society. Currently, its diagnosis is made based on the Jones Criteria, established in 1992 by the American Heart Association (AHA). In 2015, the AHA carried out a significant review of these criteria, with new diagnostic parameters and recommendations. In the present study, the authors perform a critical analysis of this new review, emphasizing the most relevant points for clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
RBR nasceu da necessidade de se criar um órgão oficial da SBR que pudesse divulgar a produção científica dos reumatologistas brasileiros. O primeiro número foi publicado em setembro de 1957. A partir do volume 18 (1978), passou a seis números, com periodicidade atual. A RBR, em sua trajetória, tem sido objeto de constantes mudanças, sempre visando ao seu aprimoramento e revitalização, tanto em sua apresentação como em seu conteúdo.
