Rash 

 Diseases such as Lyme disease and SLE which present with rash may be mistaken for ARF. Lyme disease presents with characteristic rash and arthritis (which appears 1 to 2 months after onset). Juvenile SLE is differentiated by typical skin rash, multiple organ involvement and presence of anti-nuclear antibodies.  

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of rheumatic fever is made on basis of various symptoms, signs and results of work up in a case of rheumatic fever (Table 1.2). According to the revised Duckett-  Jones criterier, the diagnosis is based upon two or more major clinical manifestations; or and major and two or more minor menifestations. In both cases evidence of previous streptococcal infection is required.
