    This document discusses the predisposing and precipitating factors that can lead to acute rheumatic fever. Some predisposing factors include heredity, age, and sex. Precipitating factors include poor dental hygiene, low fluid intake, and high sugar intake. The main precipitating factor is a pharyngeal infection caused by invasion of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus, which can trigger an abnormal immune response and lead to inflammatory lesions developing in the joints, heart, and skin.
