ABSTRACT

Introduction: it is necessary to call for the training of rheumatologists with a pediatric profile who, most precociously, are able to diagnose rheumatic diseases in childhood and adolescence and, consequently, have a favorable influence on their prognosis and prevention.
Objective: to reflect on relevant aspects that the rheumatologist with a pediatric profile should take into account for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in patients with rheumatic fever.
Development: during the period December 2016 - February 2017, a documentary review of studies of the last 20 years that included any of the following keywords: "rheumatic fever", "prevention", "prophylaxis" was carried out. The search was restricted to books and articles published in the Spanish and English languages, of which only bibliographic reviews were included, located in specialized databases such as BioMed Central, Medline, Scielo and Medscape. Consultations were also conducted with other sites such as the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). As a result of the search 20 articles were obtained, of which 4 were discarded since they did not show evidence of the criteria used for the interpretation of data and conclusions of other studies, finally 16 articles and 2 books were selected.
Conclusions: the significance of rheumatic diseases in childhood and adolescence is undeniable, given its social, psychological, familial and school repercussions. The key to providing quality health care to pediatric patients suffering from rheumatic diseases resides in forming a workforce of pediatric rheumatologists. The danger of not doing so may lead to the perpetuation of diseases such as rheumatic fever, considered as a prophylactic failure. In the agenda for the development of the subspecialty of pediatric rheumatology it is necessary to reflect on primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in these patients.
