A case of rheumatic fever with severe heart involvement, in which articular rheumatoid-like features involving both hands appeared many years after clinical onset, is described. After reviewing the articular sequelae of rheumatic fever and describing the clinical features of each form, the authors point out the main differences between rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis, and diagnose Jaccoud's arthritis.
