AB  - An  11-year-old  girl  was  referred  for  evaluation  of  a  heart  murmur.  She  has  right  knee  pain  and  swelling  that  was  preceded  by  right  ankle  pain  and  swelling.  Three  weeks  prior  to  the  presentation,  she  had  a  fever  and  sore  throat.  On  exam,  she  has  swelling  and  tenderness  of  her  right  knee,  a  hyperdynamic  precordium  with  a  pansystolic  murmur  heard  best  at  the  apex.  She  has  an  elevated  Anti-streptolysin  O  (ASO)  titer.  Her  echocardiogram  confirms  severe  mitral  regurgitation  (Figure  45-1).  She  was  diagnosed  with  acute  rheumatic  fever  and  admitted  to  the  hospital.  She  was  treated  with  penicillin,  aspirin,  and  bed  rest  with  significant  clinical  improvement.  She  was  discharged  from  the  hospital  within  a  week  and  over  the  course  of  the  next  few  months,  her  mitral  regurgitation  improved.
