Signs of scarlet fever Normal lungs and alveoli Alternative names Return to top Scarlatina Definition Return to top Scarlet fever is a disease caused by an infection of the throat with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal bacteria ( strep throat Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.

Signs and Symptoms:
In scarlet fever, a skin rash appears in a child who has an infection caused by Group A streptococci bacteria. 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.

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.
