You can help us, with our

NEW PROJECT!

The SCA is working with an expert,  Dr. Terrence Thomas, paediatric neurologist, to make a video to help people to get the benefits of the new Guidelines on the assessment and treatment of Sydenham’s Chorea. We need your input. Please tell us any questions about the condition or its treatment that you might like us to raise with Dr. Thomas and include answers in the video.

We cannot offer individual medical advice, but we can answer general questions.

Please post your questions in our module or on our Facebook page!

THE CONDITION

Sydenham's Chorea is a condition caused by a previous infection with Streptococcus pyogenes, usually reversible, which affects children and adolescents (in adults it is rarer). It is characterized by movement disorders and frequently accompanied by emotional changes.
