RESUMO
By comparing 51 heart disease patients with history of rheumatic fever and 46 heart disease patients with no rheumatic fever history, the authors found a higher prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in rheumatic fever subjects. This suggests that rheumatic fever activity is not a necessary condition for the expression of neuropsychiatric symptoms.
