Abstract

Between October 1986 and May 1991, 19 patients with acute rheumatic fever who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics at Soroka Medical Center underwent echocardiographic color flow Doppler examination. Five patients had an echocardiographic picture of mitral valve prolapse, with or without leaflet thickening, and one had a flail anterior leaflet. Six had mitral valve thickening without prolapse, and seven patients had an echocardiographically normal appearing mitral valve. All 19 patients had a posterolaterally directed jet of mitral regurgitation demonstrated on color flow Doppler. All patients had echocardiographically normal aortic valves. However, mild aortic regurgitation was noted in eight of them. The posterolateral jet of mitral insufficiency in acute rheumatic fever may be the most common echo‐Doppler finding in this condition.
