title: [Relapsing annular erythema following streptococcal throat infection in an adult patient: Adult erythema marginatum associated with rheumatic fever].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Erythema marginatum is one of the main Jones diagnostic criteria for rheumatic fever. However, since it rarely occurs in industrialized countries, this diagnosis is seldom suspected, especially in adult patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of an annular facial eruption associated with fever and polyarthralgia seen twice in a 30-year-old woman following episodes of streptococcal throat infection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case report underlines the fact that the rheumatic fever has not completely disappeared in the highly developed countries. Dermatologists should be careful not to overlook its clinical manifestations and should be vigilant about potential cardiac complications.
