A member asked:

If an adult has mild rheumatic fever, will it weaken the immunity in the urinary and reproductive system tracts such as urethra or prostate?

No effect: These systems (urinary, reproductive, etc) will not be affected by the rheumatic fever, which should be under treatment as soon as it is detected.
