Two cases of nephropathy in association with acute rheumatic fever are presented.
Both patients had Rheumatic carditis with mitral valvular involvement and positive urinary
laboratory findings of significant hematuria and proteinuria.
There was no relapse of nephropathy after initial recovery and both patients are getting monthly
injection of Benzatine-penicillin as prophylaxis to prevent recurrence of rheumatic fever.
