These are:
- raised CRP or ESR or leucocytosis
- arthralgia - which only counts as one of the minor criteria if arthritis is not one of the major criteria
- fever
- past history of rheumatic heart disease or previous rheumatic fever
- ECG shows prolonged PR interval - which cannot be included as one of the minor criteria if carditis is included as a major criterion
