Traumatic Fever Research Paper

Rheumatic Fever is an acute systemic inflammatory condition that appears to result from an abnormal immune reaction occurring a few weeks after an untreated infection, usually caused by certain strains of group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. The preceding infection commonly appears as an upper respiratory infection, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or strep throat. Antibodies to the streptococcus organisms form and then react with connective tissue called collagen in the skin, joints, brain, and heart, causing inflammation. The inflammation can occur in the large joint, skin, wrist, elbows, knees, and ankles.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an abnormal immune response, causing inflammation of the synovial membrane with vasodilation, increased permeability, and formation of exudate, causing the typical red, swollen, and painful joint. Remissions and exacerbations lead to progressive damage to the joints. The inflammation commences rather insidiously with symmetric involvement of the small joints such as the fingers, followed by inflammation and destruction of wrist, elbows, and knees.
Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatoid Arthritis both cause inflammation of the wrist, elbows, and knees along with many others. Inflammation occur when tissues are …show more content…
When breathing stops oxygen levels in the body drop as well. This will trigger the brain to briefly wake us up so that the airway will reopen. The child is briefly woken up by the body throughout the night, which doesn't allow the child to reach a deep sleep called REM sleep.
