OBJECTIF Rappeler au médecin qui travaille avec les populations aborigènes que le rhumatisme articulaire aigu est toujours présent, et revoir les données récentes sur son tableau clinique, son traitement et la prophylaxie secondaire.

SOURCES DE L’INFORMATION On a consulté la Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE et EMBASE entre 1996 et 2007, en ciblant surtout la prévention, l’épidémiologie et le traitement de cette maladie. On a aussi utilisé les données d’une série de cas du centre de santé Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win en Ontario.

PRINCIPAL MESSAGE Le rhumatisme articulaire aigu est toujours présent dans les communautés aborigènes du nord-ouest de l’Ontario. Détection, traitement et prophylaxie secondaire sont nécessaires.

CONCLUSION Le rhumatisme articulaire aigu n’est pas une maladie oubliée et il existe toujours dans les régions reculées du Canada.
