A 2-year-old boy with rheumatic fever is described. The patient presented with fever, flitting polyarthritis and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Treatment with aspirin was successful. Rheumatic fever in this age-group is very rare, but it is important to consider this diagnosis even in children under 3 years of age.
