  • Abstract:
  • Background: Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that can develop as a complication of untreated or poorly treated streptococcal throat infections. It commonly affects the joints, heart, skin, and nervous system, and may lead to rheumatic heart disease. Homoeopathy provides alternative treatment approaches, and Tuberculinum Bovinum, a nosode derived from the tubercle bacillus, is often indicated in chronic conditions. This study explores the utility of Tuberculinum Bovinum in managing rheumatic fever. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and utility of Tuberculinum Bovinum in treating rheumatic fever, focusing on symptom relief, recurrence prevention, and long-term prognosis. Methods: • Study Design: Retrospective case analysis and literature review. • Population: Patients diagnosed with rheumatic fever, treated with Tuberculinum Bovinum over a specified period. • Intervention: Administration of Tuberculinum Bovinum, potency selection based on individual susceptibility. • Outcome Measures: Reduction in joint pain, fever, heart complications, recurrence rate, and overall improvement in quality of life. Results: • Symptom Relief: Patients showed significant improvement in joint pain, fever reduction, and improved physical mobility. • Recurrence Prevention: The administration of Tuberculinum Bovinum helped reduce the recurrence rate of rheumatic fever episodes in most cases. • Long-term Outcome: Long-term administration led to fewer complications related to rheumatic heart disease, with overall improved prognosis in patients. Conclusion: Tuberculinum Bovinum shows promising utility in the management of rheumatic fever, especially in reducing the frequency of attacks and minimizing long-term complications. Its individualized use in homoeopathic practice can provide symptom relief and aid in better prognosis for patients prone to recurrent rheumatic conditions. Further studies with larger populations are warranted to confirm these findings.
