description This is a descriptive study whose objectives were: to characterize socio demographic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of children and ado­lescents with rheumatic fever and to describe the experiences of these subjects with the disease as well its treatment. It was developed at a Unified National Health System hospital, of reference. In fact, a tertiary care hospital. The sample was constituted of 20 subjects interned with rheumatic fever diagnosis in the years 2004 and 2005.
