Abstract

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is an inflammatory disease that occurs as a complication of streptococcal infection and can affect the heart, joints, skin, and central nervous system. Radiography, despite its limitations, is an important tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with ARF. This article reviews the potential of radiography in assessing disease-related changes, including those in the cardiovascular system and joints.

The case series demonstrates that radiography can be useful for initial diagnosis, detection of complications such as pancarditis and arthritis, and monitoring disease progression. The advantages of radiography compared with other imaging modalities such as echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging are discussed. In conclusion, radiography is emphasized as an important adjunct to the comprehensive evaluation of patients with acute rheumatic fever.
