The incubation period is short, generally 1-2 days. Illness typically begins with a fever and sore throat. It may be accompanied by chills, vomiting, abdominal pain, and malaise. The streptococcal bacteria produces a toxin that causes a rash that appears one to two days after the onset of illness. The rash usually first appears on the neck and chest, then spreads over the body. It is described as "sandpapery" in quality. The texture of the rash is more important than the appearance in confirming the diagnosis. The rash can last for over a week. As the rash fades, peeling (desquamation) may occur around the finger tips, toes, and groin area. The main risk factors is infection with the bacteria that causes strep throat . A history of strep throat or scarlet fever in the community, neighborhood, or school may increase the risk of infection.

Site map Search: Home Bacterial Scarlet fever What is scarlet fever? Scarlet fever is a bacterial illness that often presents with a distinctive rash made up of tiny pinkish-red spots that cover the whole body. It affects people who have recently had a sore throat ( strep throat ) or school sores ( impetigo ) caused by certain strains of the group A streptococcus bacteria. A toxin released by the streptococcal bacteria causes the rash of scarlet fever. Scarlet fever has also been called scarlatina in the past. How common is scarlet fever and who gets it? Scarlet fever is not as common as it was a century ago when it was associated with deadly epidemics. The development of antibiotics and their early use in the treatment of streptococcal infections has prevented many cases of scarlet fever and the long-term complication of rheumatic fever. Scarlet fever occurs mostly in children aged 4-8 years. By 10 years old, up to 80% of children have developed lifelong protective antibodies against streptococcal toxins, whilst children younger than 2 years still have acquired maternal antiexotoxin antibodies. Males and females are affected equally. How do you get scarlet fever?

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Scarlet fever Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Scarlet fever is an infection that is caused by a bacteria called streptococcus. The disease is characterized by a sore throat , fever, and a sandpaper-like rash on reddened skin. It is primarily a childhood disease. If scarlet fever is untreated, serious complications such as rheumatic fever (a heart disease) or kidney inflammation ( glomerulonephritis ) can develop. Description Scarlet fever, also known as scarlatina, gets its name from the fact that the patient's skin, especially on the cheeks, is flushed. A sore throat and raised rash over much of the body are accompanied by fever and sluggishness (lethargy). The fever usually subsides within a few days and recovery is complete by two weeks. After the fever is gone, the skin on the face and body flakes; the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet peels more dramatically. This disease primarily affects children ages two to ten. It is highly contagious and is spread by sneezing, coughing, or direct contact. The incubation period is three to five days, with symptoms usually beginning on the second day of the disease, and lasting from four to ten days. Early in the 20th century, severe scarlet fever epidemics were common. Today, the disease is rare. Although this decline is due in part to the availability of

During the summer of 1787 in Hallowell, Maine, Martha Ballard found herself busy with two of her major duties as a midwife: delivering babies and tending the sick. The entries from the diary for the months of June, July, August, and September show the evidence of Group A hemolytic streptococci attacking the populace as scarlet fever, puerperal fever, and infected wounds. Working before germ theory had explained the connection, Martha had no way of knowing that "strep," as we call it, was responsible for all three manifestations in her patients. The symptoms of scarlet fever were sore throat, rash, and possible death. Martha and her contemporaries called it canker rash. Puerpural fever occurred after childbirth and could kill both mother and child. No antibiotics were available to help with scarlet fever, puerpural fever, or infected wounds. People did not even know that cleanth and antiseptic conditions could stem the spread of the disease from patient to patient. Look in the following entries for evidence of an epidemic. A subplot in one entry involved Martha herself. On August 13 she noted the death of little Willy McMaster, whose mother was pregnant with another child. Martha wrote, "Poor mother, how Distressing her case..." Perhaps the case brought back the memory of the summer of 1769 when Martha lost three of her own young children to a diptheria epidemic in Oxford, Massachusetts. Like Mrs. McMaster, Martha birthed her daughter Hannah (on August 6, 1769) during an epidemic that took another child's life. Check the August 6, 1787 entry, when Martha noted Hannah's birthday.

It affects people who have a throat or skin infection caused by certain strains of the group A streptococcus bacteria What is going on in the body? Scarlet fever usually occurs after a throat infection with Streptococcus bacteria, such as strep throat . However, it may also occur after a strep infection of the skin, soft tissues, uterus, or a surgical wound. The bacteria that cause scarlet fever make a toxin that results in a skin rash . The rash usually spreads over most of the body, only to peel off a week later. Scarlet fever is now uncommon because of the regular use of antibiotics for strep infections. What are the signs and symptoms of the infection? The rash associated with scarlet fever usually starts on the neck, chest, armpits, and groin. Within a day, it can spread to the rest of the body. The rash is generally made up of a series of tiny pinkish-red spots and feels like sandpaper. About a week later, the rash usually peels off, much as the top layer of skin does after a sunburn. Other signs and symptoms are as follows: abdominal pain chills fever headache ... malaise , or feeling lousy sore throat swollen and red tongue, known as strawberry tongue

The infection usually takes the form of a strep throat infection, or more rarely, as impetigo , a skin infection that can be caused by streptococci. The rash of scarlet fever usually begins like a bad sunburn with tiny bumps (papules), and it may itch. The rash usually appears first on the neck and face, often leaving a clear unaffected area around the mouth. It spreads to the chest and back, then to the rest of the body. In body creases, especially around the underarms and elbows, the rash forms classic red streaks called Pastia's lines. Areas of rash usually blanch (turn white) when you press on them. By the sixth day of a strep infection the rash usually fades, but the affected skin may begin to peel. Rash is the most striking symptom of scarlet fever, and there are usually other symptoms that help to confirm the diagnosis. Scarlet fever often begins with a reddened sore throat, a fever above 101degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius), and swollen glands in the neck. The affected child looks ill. The tonsils and back of the throat may be covered with a whitish coating, or appear red, swollen, and dotted with whitish or yellowish specks of pus. Early in the infection, the tongue may have a whitish or yellowish coating (a "furred" or "strawberry" tongue), but later in the infection it may turn red, and its surface may begin to peel.

SymptomSolutions, Inc. The New Look Of Health And Wellness Scarlet Fever Scarlet fever is a contagious disorder characterized by a bright red rash on the face, neck and chest. Scarlet fever usually affects children under 10 years of age. Symptoms - The characteristic rash begins as a red, bumpy rash on the neck and chest and spreads to the rest of the body. The rash will fade within a few days leaving a rough texture to the skin. A reddened tongue (strawberry tongue), a sore throat, and a high fever (101 to 105) will accompany the rash. Also, the tonsils may appear swollen, the lymph nodes in the neck may be swollen, and coughing or vomiting may occur. Causes - Scarlet fever is caused by a streptococcal infection and is spread by coughing and breathing the airborne microorganism. Risk increases in persons who suffer a Strep Throat infection. Diagnosis - The diagnosis is based on observation of the aforementioned symptoms and a physical examination. A throat culture will confirm the presence of Group A Strep. Treatment - Antibiotics such as penicillin and erythromycin are used to treat scarlet fever. Care should be taken to keep the infected person away from others to prevent spread of the disease. Pain relievers such as acetaminophen may be used for discomfort. The person will require plenty of rest and fluids.
