What is Scarlet Fever?
This page was reviewed or revised on Thursday, April 10, 2003. Scarlet fever is a form of the streptococcal disease characterized by a skin rash. The streptococci secrete a toxin which causes a skin rash to appear. Ordinarily scarlet fever evolves from the initial illness of strep throat, although the rash only occurs in 10% of the cases of strep throat. Scarlet fever can also be present in those who are suffering from other infections caused by the streptococcal bacteria, such as a streptococcal infection of the skin and soft tissue, surgical wounds, or the uterus.
How does it spread?

The causative organism usually enters the body through the nose or mouth; it is transmitted from person to person by direct contact, that is, by sprays of droplets from the respiratory tract of an infected person, or by indirect contact through the use of utensils previously handled by an infected person. The disease most commonly affects children between the ages of two and ten. The typical initial symptoms of the disease are headache, sore throat, chills, fever, and general malaise. From two to three days after the first appearance of symptoms, red spots may appear on the palate; bright red papilla emerge on the tongue, giving it an appearance commonly called strawberry tongue. A characteristic skin eruption appears on the chest and usually spreads over the entire body except the face. The rash fades on pressure. The fever, which frequently runs as high as 40° to 40.6° C (104° to 105° F), generally lasts only a few days but may extend to a week or longer. The rash usually fades in approximately a week, and at that time the skin begins to peel.

By NATALIE HESS
The News-Sun "W hen my mother was a young lady, scarlet fever was around. I remember her telling about how she had neighbors with scarlet fever, and she would buy groceries for them. The neighbors had to bring their money outside, hang it on a clothesline and pour hot water over it," tells Mary Squier, a woman who worked at McCray Memorial Hospital for nearly 45 years. "This was before 1914."
From November 1978 to November 1993, Squier served as the director of medical records at McCray. She remembers hearing about early-century scares like typhoid fever, influenza and scarlet fever. The scare that lives in her memory most is polio. "With the polio vaccines, there was a shot, then a sugar cube that you took orally," Squier says. "Now you don't hear about it."

Signs of scarlet fever Normal lungs and alveoli Definition: Scarlet fever is a disease caused by an infection of the throat with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal bacteria ( strep throat Alternative Names: Scarlatina Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Scarlet fever was once a very serious childhood disease, but now is easily treatable. 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.

The Basics Symptoms What Is Scarlet Fever? Scarlet fever is one of those childhood diseases that have been tamed by antibiotics. Once it was a common and deadly illness. Today it is rare and easily managed if recognized and treated. As the rash fades, there may be peeling around the tips of the fingers and toes and in the groin area. CAUTION! Seek Treatment What Causes It? Scarlet fever is a contagious infection that is caused by streptococcal bacteria. It is spread by contact with an infected person or inhalation of the bacteria. Once inside the pharynx or throat, the bacteria multiply and produce a toxin that circulates in the blood and causes the symptoms. Reviewed by Charlotte E. Grayson , MD, April 2002.

People who get scarlet fever usually develop a rash and other symptoms within two to seven days of exposure to infected nasal or throat secretions. Now on to your specific questions: although it's possible to transmit the bacteria to close contacts, after you've been on antibiotics for twenty-four hours, you're no longer contagious. So soon friends will be able to wish you, "Gesundheit," when you sneeze without having to worry about getting red faced themselves.

What is scarlet fever?
Scarlet fever, also known as scarlatina, is an infectious disease that causes a rash. It is usually associated with an infection by streptococci, such as strep throat. It may also be associated with wounds or burns that become infected. The rash of scarlet fever is typically a fine, "sandpaper-like" rash that consists of small, red bumps. Scarlet fever most commonly occurs in children between the ages of 2 and 10. It is spread from direct contact with a child who is infected, usually through secretions from the mouth or nose. What causes scarlet fever? What are the symptoms of scarlet fever? The following are the most common initial (before the rash develops) symptoms of scarlet fever. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
  • fever sore throat chills headache vomiting stomach ache coated white tongue
The rash begins approximately one to two days after the initial infection. The red, fine, sandpaper-like rash typically is noted on the neck, forehead, cheeks, and chest and then may spread to the arms and back. The rash usually begins to fade after three to four days.

Scarlet Fever at Different Ages QUESTION Dear Dr. Cates,
My daughters have been exposed to scarlet fever. How dangerous is it for themone is six and the other is 18 months old? What are the symptoms of it, and how could she have come across this kind of illness? ANSWER
January 29, 2002
Dear Chrissy,
I'm glad you asked this question since it's something many parents wonder about. First, I want to set your mind at ease since scarlet fever is merely a strep infection , like strep throat, with a characteristic rash all over the body. The rash occurs when the group A strep bacteria produce a substance called a toxin that causes a rash. Scarlet fever is no more serious than the infection would have been without the rash, but often the rash gets itchy and the skin peels once the infection is over.
Since, as you probably already know, strep is pretty contagious, both of your children could, potentially, get a strep infection, with or without the rash. It's important to know that your 18-month-old may have different symptoms from your six-year-old, since children under three years are more likely to have a milder illness with a nasal discharge, than full-blown strep throat like you see in

Scarlet Fever and Strep Throat
Question: My 6 year old daughter developed Scarlet Fever and had to be treated with antibiotics. Her pediatrician told me that Scarlet Fever is an untreated and more advanced form of strep throat. If this is indeed the case, why didn't she demonstrate any symptoms of strep throat which would have enabled me to have her treated immediately? She seemed to be fine one day, extremely sick with full-blown scarlet fever, the next. Answer: Streptococcus (Group A) is a bacteria that has a liking for the tonsils and throat tissue. Hence, the term Strep Throat. At times, it is quite painful causing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, enlarged neck glands and fever. There may also be other flu-like symptoms such as muscle aches and weakness.
