Abstract

Sydenham's Chorea (SC), a major manifestation of acute Rheumatic Fever, is an important cause of acquired chorea in childhood. The disorder is characterized by chorea, muscular weakness and a number of neuropsychiatric symptoms. The diagnosis of SC is based on clinical observation. There have been no double-blind, randomized studies to evaluate the symptomatic treatment of SC.
