La chorée de Sydenham (CS) est le type le plus courant de chorée acquise. Contrairement à de nombreux troubles du mouvement qui sont déjà présents à la naissance, la CS est provoquée par une infection; elle est donc dite «acquise». La plupart du temps, elle est provoquée par une infection au streptocoque-bêta hémolytique de groupe A. 2, record 1, French, - chor%C3%A9e%20de%20Sydenham

La fièvre rhumatismale est une maladie inflammatoire qui peut s'attaquer au tissu conjonctif dans plusieurs parties du corps, plus particulièrement dans le cœur, les articulations, le cerveau et la peau.

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'une des répercussions très fréquentes d'une fièvre rhumatismale (appelée aussi rhumatisme articulaire aigu) est l'atteinte d'une valvule cardiaque (valvulopathie). [...] Chacune des parties du cœur - y compris l'enveloppe extérieure (péricarde), l'enveloppe intérieure (endocarde) et les valvules - peut être endommagée par l'inflammation qui accompagne la fièvre rhumatismale aiguë. Cependant, la forme la plus courante de cardite rhumatismale frappe les valvules cardiaques, en particulier la valvule mitrale. Après un épisode de fièvre rhumatismale, plusieurs années peuvent s'écouler avant l'apparition d'une lésion valvulaire ou de symptômes. 1, record 4, French, - fi%C3%A8vre%20rhumatismale
