Resumo
Desde os primórdios, o ser humano enfrenta doenças causadas por microrganismos patogênicos. Antes da descoberta das bactérias, acreditava-se que as doenças eram causadas por fenômenos da natureza como eclipses, odores fétidos ou causas espirituais. Somente a partir do século XIX, os Streptococcus foram classificados como agentes causadores de doenças infecciosas e foram os responsáveis pelo início da esterilização de materiais hospitalares. Atualmente o Streptococcus Pyogenes é um dos responsáveis pela faringoamigdalite grave, que se não for tratada adequadamente, pode evoluir para febre reumática e posteriormente para doença reumática cardíaca. A cardite reumática é a sequela mais grave da FR e pode se desenvolver imediatamente ou anos após a infecção, trazendo inúmeras complicações na vida do paciente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a relação entre o S. Pyogenes e o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, por meio de revisões da literatura atual, nacional e internacional, no período de 2013 a 2023, relacionando ou não a incidência de infecções pela bactéria em questão e o desenvolvimento de doenças cardíacas. Foram analisados 6 artigos, onde 4 eram relatos de casos brasileiros referentes a febre reumática. Por meio desta revisão, foi possível enfatizar a relação entre o S. Pyogenes e o desenvolvimento de doenças
cardiovasculares como a cardite reumática, salientando a importância do tratamento correto e do diagnóstico precoce.
Since the dawn of time, human beings have faced diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. Before the discovery of bacteria, it was believed that diseases were caused by natural phenomena such as eclipses, foul odors or spiritual causes. It wasn't until the 19th century that Streptococcus was classified as a causative agent of infectious diseases and was responsible for the beginning of the sterilization of hospital materials. Today, Streptococcus Pyogenes is one of the causes of severe pharyngotonsillitis, which, if not treated properly, can develop into rheumatic fever and then rheumatic heart disease. Rheumatic carditis is the most serious sequelae of RF and can develop immediately or years after infection, bringing numerous complications to the patient's life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between S. pyogenes and the development of cardiovascular disease, by reviewing the current national and international literature from 2013 to 2023, and whether or not it relates the incidence of infection with the bacterium in question to the development of heart disease. Six articles were analyzed, four of which were reports of Brazilian cases of rheumatic fever. Through this review, it was possible to emphasize the relationship between S. Pyogenes and the development of cardiovascular diseases such as rheumatic carditis, stressing the importance of correct treatment and early diagnosis.
