Summary

Description
English: High magnification micrograph of rheumatic heart disease. H&E stain.

It is due to Streptococcus pyogenes.

Microscopic findings include Anitschkow cells (also known as caterpillar cells), and Aschoff bodies. Anitschkow cells are thought to be cardiac histocytes and Aschoff bodies are thought to be granulomas.[1]
