SummaryWe describe an eleven-year-old boy with severe retardation in physical growth and severe rheumatic valvar disease. At surgery, a sample of the atrial appendage showed Aschoff nodules, although no antecedent of rheumatic fever was recorded. The patient was HLA-DR5 positive. The case emphasizes the strong association of malnutrition with severe rheumatic heart disease in northeast Brazil.
