scarlet fever Alternative Names scarletina Definition Scarlet fever is a relatively rare infection. 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

Home All Health Reference Condition Guides Healthy Living ... Heart Disease Scarlet fever and heart problems Question: I've heard that scarlatina is related to calcified heart valves and heart problems later in life. Is this true? Elaine / Pennsylvania Answer: Scarlet fever (also called scarlatina) is a disease caused by a strain of streptococcus (strep). If left untreated, it can lead to complications that may cause heart damage. Scarlet fever typically begins with a fever and sore throat. The streptococcal bacteria produces a toxin that causes a red rash. The rash usually starts on the upper part of the chest and then spreads to the rest of the body. Typically, the rash doesn't appear on the face, palms and soles. However, red spots may also appear on the roof of the mouth. The rash appears 1 to 2 days after the onset of illness and usually disappears after 1 week. Complications of scarlet fever include infections and abscesses in the head and neck area. Noninfectious complications include inflammatory conditions that may involve the heart (acute rheumatic fever) or the kidneys (acute glomerulonephritis). Acute rheumatic fever may damage the heart valves. This damage may be progressive, impair heart function and lead to heart failure. Typical treatment for scarlet fever is penicillin, either taken by mouth or given by injection. The goal of early treatment is to kill the bacteria and prevent complications of the disease.

Prepare for a trickle-down outbreak of cinematic redheadedness your multiplex today, YOUR CHILDREN TOMORROW! October 2, 2001 Search for a cure on the message boards! Prepare yourselves for a rash of redheads a red, red rashthat has already begun and seems to have no end in sight! The ladies of the Digest staff, ever aware of potential trends coming down the pipeline, were first disturbed when they noticed two dramatic switches to red...then three...then four ... Come on: Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman play with fire all the time. But the following evidence proves, without a doubt, that there's some new contagion spreading through Hollywood. So what's the big deal? Do we have a thing against redheads? Hell noespecially not real ones. The problem is when you have a massive, artificial Hollywood trend. Not only is dyeing hell on your hair, but red in particular is often a crutch lazy screenwriters (and even the actresses themselves!) use to convey charactereven more blatantly than with brunette and blonde. (Real redheads in the house? We're counting on you to demand more realistic portrayals than "redheads are either bitchy or spunky, and often slutty.") Some of the actresses pictured do, in fact, still look lovely even in the throes of contagion, much the way consumption was said to bring that feverish bloom to the Victorians' cheeks... As for the other, less fortunate redheads below, they are the real cause for alarm. Because we all know that what we see at the theater, we see two weeks later in the salon and thence on the street...and if it looks this bad on the screen, how horrifying will it be in front of you in the Quickie Mart line? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cureSAVE YOURSELVES WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!

Scarlet Fever Scarlet fever causes a sore throat, high temperature and a rash. It usually only occurs in children. It has become much less common and less serious than it once was. Full recovery is usual. What causes scarlet fever? Scarlet fever is due to a throat infection caused by a bacterium (bug) called streptococcus. There are various strains (types) of streptococcus. They cause various infections, and one strain causes scarlet fever. What are the symptoms of scarlet fever? Sore throat and fever (high temperature) are the typical first symptoms. A bright red (scarlet) rash soon develops. This is caused by a toxin (poison) that is made by the streptococcal bacteria. The toxin gets into the blood from the infected throat. The rash starts as small red spots, usually on the neck and upper chest. It soon spreads to many other parts of the body. The face may become quite flushed. The rash blanches (goes white) if you press on it. The tongue may become pale but coated with red spots ('strawberry tongue'). After a few days the whole tongue may look red. Other common symptoms include: headaches, vomiting, being off food, and feeling generally unwell.
