Abstract

Abstract: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an inflammatory process of the heart and scarring formation due to an autoimmune reaction against beta-hemolytic streptococcus class A infection. RHD is the most serious complication of rheumatic fever (RF). Rheumatic fever and its other complications including RHD, is a type of acquired heart disease that mostly found in children and young adult population. Acute rheumatic fever occurrs in 0.3 % of pharyngitis cases caused by beta-hemolytical streptococcus class A in children. In epidemiological view, the school age children (6-15 years) is the most often that experienced pharyngitis caused by Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus class A. In some developing countries, including Indonesia, RF and RHD are still important medical problems and public health problems. The high incidence of this disease in developing countries is related to the lack of public knowledge, education level, socioeconomic status, overcrowded, and lack of adequate health care. Conclusion: The parents’ education level is one of the factors that influence the occurence of RHD in children.
Keywords: education level, rheumatic heart disease
