Download or read book Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2004-02-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rheumatic heart disease presents a major public health challenge (particularly for children) and major determinants are poverty, malnutrition, overcrowding, poor housing and a shortage of health-care resources. Although cost effective prevention and control strategies are available, they remain underused in most developing countries. This publication contains the report of a WHO expert consultation, held in Geneva in October 2001, which reviewed the current scientific knowledge of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, as well as the medical and public health related practices. It suggests practical recommendations for an evidence-based approach to the prevention and management of the disease and for cost-effective programmes for their control.

Download or read book Rheumatic Fever written by Angelo Taranta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become commonplace to say that the decline of rheu matic fever in Europe and North America has little, if any thing, to do with medicine; but to conclude that efforts to control the disease are futile would be an error leading to what could be termed public health malpractice. The need for adequate treatment of patients suffering from acute rheu matic fever or chronic rheumatic valvular heart disease is obvious; but control also means prevention, and here, too, the need is obvious, if only to lighten the burden on health care, due especially to the treatment of patients with advanced forms of the disease. The feasibility of and justification for rheumatic fever control programmes in developing countries has been often questioned. A co-operative study co-ordinated by the World Health Organization has now demonstrated that systematic prevention of rheumatic fever recurrences not only benefits the patients concerned but also has economic advantages. Primary prevention by systematic penicillin treatment of all streptococcal throat infections is at present beyond the reach of many health care systems, and anti-streptococcal vac cination is still in the research phase. The mainstay of the combat against rheumatic heart disease thus remains 7 RHEUMATIC FEVER secondary prevention - the long-term monthly administ ration of penicillin injections to identified patients. This requires, among other things, that penicillin be available.

Download or read book Review of Acute Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease Among Indigenous Australians written by Caitlin Gray and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The extent of ARF and RHD is still very high among some Indigenous people in Australia; in comparison, the conditions are very uncommon among non-Indigenous people. Hospitalisations and deaths from ARF and RHD continue to burden Indigenous people at a rate around seven times the rate for other Australians. Being linked to poverty, poor living conditions and limited access to health services, ARF and RHD are largely preventable, as evidenced by the very low levels among non-Indigenous Australians (and in other developed countries). The recently established national coordination strategies for the prevention and treatment of ARF and RHD emphasise the great importance of primary and secondary prophylaxis. Early diagnosis is essential to curb the risk of developing recurrent ARF and RHD. Secondary prophylaxis generally involves four-weekly administration of intramuscular benzathine penicillin, but the long-term adherence required can be problematic due to: mobility of patients; the pain of injection (particularly for young people); and levels of service provision. And, of course, improvements in the living conditions of Indigenous Australians - and their access to health services - are essential to prevent new cases of ARF and RHD and reduce the risks of disease progression."--Page 12.
