Assessment of the Articular Syndrome in Acute Rheumatic Fever According to Revision of the Jones Criteria
Journal Title: Біль. Суглоби. Хребет - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 20
Abstract
The article deals with the evaluation of articular syndrome in children with acute rheumatic fever according to the revision of the Jones criteria 2015. Experts highlighted the major and minor criteria for populations with low and moderate-to-high risk of acute rheumatic fever. For low-risk populations, the evaluation of articular syndrome has not changed — polyarthritis remains the major, and polyarthralgia — the minor criterion. Whereas in populations with moderate and high risk, monoarthritis should be included to major criteria, as well as polyarthralgias, after careful exclusion of other causes of joint damage.
