st. vitus dance
St. Vitus Dance, also known as Sydenham's chorea, is a neurological disorder characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements mainly affecting the face, hands and feet. The condition often occurs following an infection with Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus, the bacterium that causes rheumatic fever. It is most commonly seen in children and adolescents, especially girls. The name "St. Vitus Dance" comes from the patron saint of dancers, as the uncontrollable movements can resemble dancing. The condition is generally self-limiting and resolves over time.
