Abstract
Acute rheumatic fever is common among Samoans in Hawaii. During 2 visits to evaluate the magnitude of rheumatic fever problem among Samoans in American Samoa, we identified 148 patients with rheumatic fever on penicillin prophylaxis. Retrospective chart reviews were done showing possible delays in diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever.
