I agree with amitjosh.
(The blank was just an "edit" of the repeat posts, as this forum doesn't seem to have a delete post function so that mjl1717 wasn't posting the same thing over and over again).

SOB is shortness of breath, and afaik it is a commonly accepted medical abbreviation.
And I would agree with the pharyngitis causing acute rheumatic fever w. pancarditis, polyarthritis and erythema marginatum

Malaysian, "Rheumatic heart disease" and "Rheumatic Fever" are two different terminologies. Do not get confused between them.
Rheumatic heart disease is a chronic sequelae to cardiac component of rheumatic fever, probably due to hemodynamic changes, resulting in fibrosis, thickening of endocardium, fusion of cusps, etc.
Bye,
Amit
