The case of a previously healthy nine-year-old female who presented with a two-week history of fever and five days of joint pain is discussed. She was admitted to the hospital, where the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever was made. Although this diagnosis is made infrequently, it should be part of the differential diagnosis of persistent fever in patients presenting to the Emergency Department.
