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.
