Solutions A to Z Scarlet Fever This illness, characterized by high fever and a bright, red rash covering the entire body, occurs in conjunction with about 10 percent of cases of streptococcal respiratory infection, or strep throat. In general, the widespread use of antibiotics to treat strep throat has made scarlet fever less common than it was in the past, but occasional outbreaks still occur. Like strep throat, scarlet fever is most common among children over the age of four. It generally spreads in school and household settings. WHAT CAUSES SCARLET FEVER? WHEN SHOULD I SUSPECT THAT MY CHILD HAS SCARLET FEVER? The first symptoms, which may develop suddenly, include a high fever, headache, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Occasionally, abdominal pain and vomiting develop one or two days before the rash appears. The rash, which consists of tiny, red bumps, begins on the trunk and spreads outward, covering the body in a matter of hours or days, giving the skin a rough sandpaper-like texture. Application of pressure makes the bumps disappear momentarily.

Scarlet Fever 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. The symptoms of scarlet fever may resemble other skin conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.

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.

65. Scarlet Fever O n this episode of A Moment of Science Yael has scarlet fever, but even in hertime of scarlet fever infects children, not adults. And it s deadly too. http://amos.indiana.edu/library/scripts/scarletfever.html

Audio Scripts Books n this episode of A Moment of Science Yael has scarlet fever, but even in her time of sickness she takes time to explain to Don just what this disease is. [TELEPHONE RINGING] D: Hello? Y: Hi Don. It's me, Yael. I can't come in to work today. I have scarlet fever. D: Nice try, Yael, but I don't believe a word of it. Scarlet fever infects children, not adults. And it's deadly too. Y: I sure feel like I'm dying, but you're wrong, Don. Scarlet fever is no longer the deadly disease it was in the 1800's. It can lead to serious problems like acute rheumatic fever and toxic shock syndrome, but those cases are rare. And it doesn't only infect children either. Scarlet fever mostly infects children because by the time they are ten years old 80% of children have developed lifelong antibodies that protect them from future infection with the bacteria. But that leaves 20% of us unprotected. D: So what is scarlet fever anyway, then? Y: Scarlet fever is basically strep throat, but with a rash. Toxins produced by the nasty streptococci bacteria are released at the site of infection and are absorbed into the infected person's blood stream. These toxins circulate throughout the body, potentially causing injury in places distant from the infection. These same toxins irritate the skin and cause it to turn a deep red, something like a sunburn. It often itches. As the rash fades away around the sixth day of the infection, some of the skin may peel. To make matters worse, though, scarlet fever, as I've said, is more than a rash. It's strep throat. So the throat hurts and is probably coated with pus. And the infection often begins with a fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit.
