scabies treatment. 2\/20 participants had previously diagnosed ARF, however these were diagnosed within the month prior to the community\u2010wide screening for RHD. 2\/20 participants had undiagnosed, probable or possible ARF when classified retrospectively from review of their case documentation. 13\/20 participants had non\u2010specific presentations with joint complaints that may have represented an ARF episode but with inadequate workup to fulfil diagnostic criteria on retrospective
