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
