Question

A children’s hospital in a major American city reported a dramatic increase in the number of rheumatic fever cases. Doctors were alerted to start monitoring sore throats more carefully. Why do you suppose the prevention method was recommended?

Answer 1

As the main illness before you have a fever will normally be sore throat ( if you are heaty ) and flu ( if you caught a cold ) .
Hence the Doctors need to start monitoring the sore throats more carefully to prevent the increase of rheumatic fever cases .
Hope this helps !! :)
