Is Rheumatic Fever Genetically Passed On To The Progeny?
I am suffering for throat pain. I have rheumatic fever since 1998, i took penicillin LA-12 vaccine for 5 year continuously. I have no cardiologist problem. My question is that will the problem come in my son's ? I am now 27 years old, my height is 5ft 6", weight is 55 to 58 kgs.

HI
Well come to HCM
If you are suffering from rheumatic fever then this may not pass to your son because this is air born disease person to person infection is not likely and this is nothing to worry, this is not contagious disease neither gene related, take care.
