Rheumatic fever is a rare complication of an untreated strep throat or scarlet fever infection. It is most common between five and 15 years, but can occur at any age.MayoClinic.com: Rheumatic Fever University of Virginia: Rheumatic Fever Rheumatic fever occurs when the body produces antibodies to fight off the bacterial infection, but the antibodies instead attack the body's own cells. The affected cells are those of the heart, joints, central nervous system and skin. The biggest problem is the damage to the heart.
