C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Acute rheumatic fever does not follow chickenpox.
B Incorrect. Acute rheumatic fever does not follow an untreated or partially treated staphylococcal skin lesion or infection.

It has never been identified subsequent to a group A streptoccoci skin infection (impetigo).
D Incorrect. Acute rheumatic fever does not follow rubella.
