Rheumatic fever, a non-supurative complication of infections by group A streptococci,<br />
remains a major health problem, especially in developing countries. This article<br />
makes a global overview on the epidemiology of rheumatic fever and infections<br />
by group A streptococci, highlighting the importance of the most rheumatogenic serotypes<br />
of these bacteria and the recent reemergence of severe, invasive streptococcal<br />
infections associated with outbreaks of acute rheumatic fever in school-aged<br />
children and young adults, particularly described in United States and Europe.<br />
Key words: rheumatic fever, streptococcal infections, epidemiology.<br />
