Causes and methods of treatment of rheumatism
Causes of rheumatism
Group A hemolytic streptococcus causes the development of angina, scarlet fever, erysipelas. The human immune system actively reacts to the presence of such a pathogen in the body - it produces specific antibodies that fight the microbe.
Therefore, rheumatic fever is considered a disease of an infectious-allergic nature - a pathogenic microorganism plays a role in its development, with a hyperreactivity of the human immune system.
Many of us have had a sore throat, but rheumatic fever develops in only 1-3% of people, this is facilitated by such factors:
- incorrect treatment of streptococcal infection;
- genetic predisposition;
- hypothermia;
- deficiency of vitamins and microelements;
- the presence of autoimmune diseases (lupus, scleroderma, etc.)
Symptoms of rheumatism
You can suspect the disease by such manifestations:
- the development of the disease 1-2 weeks after suffering tonsillitis, pharyngitis, scarlet fever, erysipelas;
- a sharp increase in body temperature, general weakness;
- pain in the joints (knee, ankle, elbow, wrist);
- swelling and redness of the skin over the joints, stiffness of movements;
