Abstract
During the last two decades, the prevalence of acute rheumatic fever has significantly decreased to isolated cases nationwide. In this article, a clinical case of rheumatic chorea, with choreic hyperkinesis syndrome, in a 13-year-old child with cardiac involvement is described. Modern concepts of therapy of rheumatic chorea are presented.
