Sydenham's Chorea is also known as St. Vitus dance or chorea minor. The condition is characterized by involuntary movements of the body, which can be mild or severe. Other synonyms for Sydenham's Chorea include rheumatic chorea, acute chorea, and post-streptococcal chorea. The condition is often linked to group A streptococcal infections, which can cause damage to the basal ganglia in the brain. Treatment for Sydenham's Chorea may include medications to reduce symptoms, antibiotics to treat any underlying infections, and physical therapy to help manage movement difficulties. While the condition can be challenging, proper diagnosis and treatment can help improve the lives of those affected.
