Can rheumatic fever be cured?

Rheumatic fever has a clear cause and is an immune disease closely related to streptococcal infection, which can be cured, but is prone to recurrent infections, leading to relapses. Therefore, controlling and preventing streptococcal infections and improving the body’s immunity is the key to treating rheumatic fever. Most patients with initial rheumatic fever can be completely cured after active treatment and prevention.
