Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America 2021 Dec 16Rheumatic fever is a serious post-infectious sequela of group A Streptococcus (GAS). Prior GAS exposures were mapped in sera using a large panel of M-type specific peptides. Rheumatic fever patients had serological evidence of significantly more GAS exposures than matched controls suggesting immune priming by repeat infections contributes to pathogenesis. © The Author(s) 2021.
