The laboratory and cardiac equipment examination and analysis of acute rheumatic fever in children
Abstract：Objective To find new diagnostic index of acute rheumaticfever(ARF) by the lab and cardiac equipment examination in children. Methods Group A β-haemolytic streptococcus rapid assay (GABHSRA), ASO, CK-MB, α- HBDH, Doppler echocardiography were performed in 114 children with ARF. Results GABHSRA was positive in 90% of ARF,CK-MB was elevated in 46. 5%, α-HBDH was elevated in 32.7% of the children with ARF. According to the examination of 114 ARF by Doppler echocardiography, enlargement of LA, LV, RV was 23.7%, 16. 7% and 7. 1% respectively. Thickening of mitral valve and aortic valve was 13.2% and 8. 8% respectively. Regurgitation of mitral valve and aortic valve was 29.8% and 9.3% respectively. Mitral valve regurgitation velocity time interval was increased in 28 patients among 34 patients with mitral regurgitation. Conclusions GABHSRA, CK-MB, α-HBDH and Doppler echocardiography examination is useful in the diagnosis and helpful to the recognization of the carditis of patients with ARF.
