Prevención:

Por lo general, el hecho de prestar cuidadosa atención a los niños que se quejan de irritación de la garganta y proporcionar un tratamiento oportuno en caso de diagnosticarse presencia de estreptococos son medidas que previenen la fiebre reumática aguda. Si hay un antecedente familiar fuerte de fiebre reumática, los padres deben estar especialmente alerta, ya que los niños pueden ser particularmente susceptibles a esta infección.
