ARF can lead to rheumatic heart disease, disability, open heart surgery and death, especially when recurrent episodes occur. ARF and RHD are prevalent in children and young adults in the Northern Territory. They are caused by Strep A (Streptococcus pyogenes) infection of the throat and skin. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations are at high risk, but also consider the diagnosis in other population groups including migrants and Pacific Islanders. The management of pharyngitis and skin sores is different in the Northern Territory.

The second short film in a series which deals with issues around pregnancy and the importance of family for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who live with RHD. (May contain images and voices of people who have died)
