Circulating immune complexes in acute rheumatic carditis
… is known to be the aetiologic agent in acute rheumatic fever, but the exact pathogenesis remains obscure. A review of the histopathology of the Aschoff body suggests that the cardiac pathology is a granulomatous hypersensitivity reaction. However the streptococcus has not been found in …

Streptococcal colonization of host mucosal surfaces: a study of biofilm formation and dispersal
… fasciitis, and the post-infectious sequelae acute rheumatic fever and acute rheumatic heart disease. Thus, rather than exploit a singular niche, GAS has evolved to colonize and disseminate within several physiologically distinct anatomical sites of the human host. Such versatility requires …

A study of determinants and prevalence of Rheumatic Heart Disease in Cape Town
Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is a post-infectious immune disease ascribed to an interaction between a rheumatogenic strain of group A streptococcus, a susceptible host who lives in poor social conditions with limited access to medical facilities. The disease process begins with repeated group A …

In-vitro-Studie über die Wirksamkeit der Bacteriocine von Streptococcus salivarius zur Inhibition von Streptococcus pyogenes
… infections and rare complications as the acute rheumatic fever and the acute glomerulonephritis. Because of the broad range of S. pyogenes serotypes predominant strains that occur in Germany should be tested upon their susceptibility to the bacteriocin. For these purposes we arranged …

Investigation of circulatory and tissue-specific metabolomic biomarkers in valvular heart disease using mass spectrometry
… specific metabolic biomarkers in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and degenerative aortic stenosis (AS), compared to matched, healthy controls. The study hypothesis was that cardiac tissue obtained from heart valve biopsies from RHD and degenerative AS patients would have distinct …

Outcomes of asymptomatic and symptomatic rheumatic heart disease
Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is a leading cause of heart disease in children and young adults in the developing world, with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Early secondary prophylaxis may retard the deleterious progression from its antecedent, acute rheumatic fever to permanent …
