Can you get scarlet fever without developing a fever?
I took my daughter to the doctor today for a rash on her chest and back. She said that she has strep throat which caused scarlet fever.
She doesnt have a sore throat and hasnt had one and she hasnt even acted sick?
Is this abnormal? Is it possible the doctor is wrong?
Answer: If your child has scarlet fever, he or she may experience these common signs and symptoms:
* Red rash that looks like a sunburn and feels like sandpaper
* Red lines (Pastia's lines) in folds of skin around the groin, armpits, elbows, knees and neck
* Strawberry red and bumpy appearance of the tongue, often covered with a white coating early in the disease
* Flushed face with paleness around the mouth
* Fever of 101 F (38.3 C) or higher, often with chills
* Very sore and red throat, sometimes with white or yellowish patches
* Difficulty swallowing
* Enlarged glands in the neck (lymph nodes) that are tender to the touch
* Nausea or vomiting
* Headache
The sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes and fever are likely to appear first, while the "scarlet" signs and symptoms of scarlet fever usually appear on the second day of illness. If your child has scarlet fever, the rash and flushing will likely begin on his or her chest and spread to the neck, face, trunk, arms and legs. The rash won't appear on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet.
The rash and the redness in the face and tongue usually last about a week. After these scarlet fever symptoms have subsided, the skin affected by the rash often peels.
Photos showing scarlet fever
The red rash of scarlet fever usually begins on the chest and spreads to the neck, trunk, arms and legs.
Causes
A bacterium called Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus causes scarlet fever. This is the same bacterial infection that causes strep throat, but the strain of bacteria causing scarlet fever releases toxins that produce the rash, Pastia's lines, flushed face and red tongue.
Strep bacteria that cause scarlet fever spread from one person to another by fluids from the mouth and nose. If an infected person coughs or sneezes, the bacteria can become airborne, or the bacteria may be present on things the person touches — a drinking glass or a doorknob. If you're in proximity to an infected person, you may inhale airborne bacteria. If you touch something an infected person has touched and then touch your own nose or mouth, you could pick up the bacteria.
The incubation period — the time between exposure and illness — is usually two to four days. If scarlet fever isn't treated, a person may be contagious for a few weeks even after the illness itself has passed. And someone may carry scarlet fever strep bacteria without being sick. Therefore, it's difficult to know if you've been exposed.
Scarlet fever strep bacteria can also contaminate food, especially milk, but this mode of transmission isn't as common.
Rare causes of scarlet fever
Rare causes of scarlet fever are other strains of Streptococcus pyogenes associated with either a skin infection (impetigo) or a uterine infection contracted during childbirth. These cases result in the characteristic fever, rash and other "scarlet" symptoms but not signs and symptoms associated with a throat infection.
Risk factors
Children 5 to 15 years of age are more likely than other people to get scarlet fever.
Scarlet fever strep bacteria spread more easily among people in close contact. If a child carries the bacteria, the disease can spread easily among family members or schoolmates.
When to seek medical advice
Talk to your doctor if your child has any one of the following signs or symptoms:
* A sore throat with a fever
* A fever of 102 F (38.9 C) or higher (100 F for infants 6 months old or younger)
* A sore throat that doesn't get better within 24 to 48 hours
* A sore throat with swollen or tender glands in the neck
* A rash
* Difficulty swallowing or opening his or her mouth all the way
Tests and diagnosis
Your doctor will conduct an exam to determine the cause of your child's sore throat, rash and other symptoms. He or she will:
* Look at the condition of your child's throat, tonsils and tongue
* Feel your child's neck to determine if lymph nodes are enlarged
* Assess the appearance and texture of the rash
If your doctor suspects strep as the cause of your child's illness, he or she will also swab the back of your child's throat to collect material that may harbor strep bacteria. Tests for the strep bacterium are important because a number of conditions can cause the signs and symptoms of scarlet fever, and these illnesses may require different treatments. If there are no strep bacteria, then some other factor is causing the illness. Your doctor may order one or more of the following laboratory tests:
* Throat culture. The sample from your child's throat is examined in a laboratory test in which the bacteria can thrive. Although this is a very reliable test, the results may take as long as two days.
* Rapid antigen test. Your doctor may also order a rapid antigen test, sometimes called a rapid strep test, which can detect foreign proteins (antigens) associat

Outbreak of scarlet fever in Hong Kong
Health authorities in Hong Kong have declared an outbreak of scarlet fever, which is potentially fatal for children.
What area of the world did Scarlet fever originate from?, and what is the degree of damage caused by it?
What area of the world did Scarlet fever originate from?, and what is the degree of damage caused by it?
Answer: Scarlet fever is caused by a bacteria called group A streptococcus (GAS). It produces several exotoxins of which 2 (known as SSPE A and C) causes scarlet fever. This is basically a generalized rash that occurs in several areas of the body. It is also one of the 6 child hood causes of exanthum(rash). It is also known as Scarlatina (from the Italian scarlattina). Infections are common in children because they do not have antibodies against the exotoxins.
The main damage is not caused by the scarlet fever, but by the other exotoxins especially SSPE A. It can cause toxic shock that is highly fatal. GAS infections can also cause acute rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis. However this is due to a component known as M proteins.

How rare is scarlet fever in adult male?
I was recently diagnosed with and successfully treated for scarlet fever. It was a pretty severe case and required hospitalization.
None of the nurses I asked had ever treated anyone for scarlet fever before, and googling leads me to believe its more commonly found in children, although still pretty rare.
So Im wondering how rare it is in adults? (25 year old male)
I should note that I must have got it from a skin infection because I did not have a sore throat, though I did have strep infection all over my body.
Answer: . Rarely, scarlet fever can occur without a known or recognized illness of strep throat. Occasionally, scarlet fever can occur at the beginning or soon after the onset of strep throat. When it does, it can be a presenting sign along with the sore throat and fever of strep throat. Scarlet fever was historically a very common illness of childhood. Currently, scarlet fever is rarely seen because of the widespread use of antibiotics for treating strep throat,so its rare,if you havent had strep throat (:
Therefore,No its not,more common in children with strep throat.

I kissed a boy 2 weeks ago who got scarlet fever two days ago, is there any chance i could get it from the last time we kissed?
Answer: Scarlet fever is still very much around!
Scarlet fever is an infection caused by a type of bacteria known as hemolytic streptococci, which belongs to the A streptococcus bacteria group. Scarlet fever usually occurs after a throat or skin infection with streptococcus bacteria, such as strep throat. Scarlet fever is the rash that is a complication of the streptococcus bacteria. Scarlet fever is also known as scarletina, although this term is sometimes used to refer to a mild form of the disease.
It is quite rare because of the regular use of antibiotics for strep infections. It usually affects children, most commonly between the ages of 4 and 8 years, but people of any age can catch it, although its very rare in children under 2 years.
Although scarlet fever used to be a very serious disease, most cases today are quite mild. Scarlet fever can be passed on through bacteria in airborne droplets from coughs and sneezes. In some cases it can follow infection from other sites, including wounds and burns.
It takes around 2 to 4 days to develop symptoms after being infected. If you think have you scarlet fever because of exposure, its a good idea to consult your doctor.

Answer: According to what I know, scarlet fever is one of those conditions that don't come up again after you've already had it, but don't hold me to that, I'm no doctor.
It could also be strep developing or just a nasty cold. Either way, you should probably see a doctor to be diagnosed and treated.

Scarlet Fever?
I am 21 weeks pregnant and have been exposed to Scarlet Fever,
Should I be concerned?
Answer: Congratulations on the pregnancy.
Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection usually spread by airborne
droplets
(produced when an infected person sneezes or coughs). It is commonest
in
three to six year olds, and starts with a sore throat. Swollen glands,
fever
and rash are other common symptoms.
There is no evidence to suggest that scarlet fever poses any threat to
pregnant women. Coming into contact with infections during the early,
more
vulnerable months of pregnancy is often unavoidable. despite this, the
vast
majority of infections are not dangerous to the foetus at all. At
eleven
weeks, your wife is just getting to a less vulnerable stage of
pregnancy.
However, if she comes into contact with any infection that you are
concerned
about, it is always worth contacting her GYP to establish whether the
particular infection does carry risks in pregnancy or not.

And how was scarlet fever caught and how long would it usually last?
Any helpful answers would be very
appreciated.
Answer: the death rate was as high as 150 in 100,000.Purging, starving, vomiting and blood letting were to be followed to restore the balance.In the early1800s, it was common for doctors to use a surgical knife to bleed a child until the lips and cheeks became pale and the child fainted. In addition, medicine to cause vomiting was prescribed to purify the body. The appearance of the child had to be kept under strict observation to identify the gravity of the illness. This was necessary as visual observation was the only means to decide how many more times the purification and purging to be carried out to restore balance and promote health.Scarlet Fever has the same bacteria that causes strep throat. The fever usually stops after 3-5 days with the sore throat subsiding soon after that. The rash that comes with the illness fades from day 2 to 5 and the area may peel

Answer: Get a second opinion...
firstly scarlet fever is caused by streptococcus...this is a bacterial infection so can be treated with antibiotics...the doctor should have taken a throat swab to see if it is this then prescibe antibiotics.
Secondly scarlet fever starts with a sore throat...and the rash should fade within 6 days post the first symptom of a sore throat and they have a temperature and swollen lymph glands.
here is a good website on scarlet fever....

What happens during scarlet fever and what damage does it do later?
Just reading about Jean Harlow and I find it interesting that part of her death was because she had scarlet fever earlier in life. But she could have lived if medicine had been better in 1937.
Answer: Alexa, what you read and quote is accurate. Scarlet fever is one possible complication of an inadequately treated beta-hemolytic Streptococcus throat infection. It often resulted in severe damage to the heart mitral valve when the Strep throat was or is not adequately treated in the first 10 days of the Strep throat infection. It is easily prevented when the Strep throat is treated with the antibiotic called penicillin (or another penicillin-family type drug). The heart damage leads to the death. In 1937 the world had not yet discovered penicillin which was discovered and first used in about 1944 by Dr. Alexander Fleming and is still used. Penicillin was also the first non-sulfur type drug effective to cure venereal diseases of gonorrhea and syphilis.

What is the difference between strep throat and scarlet fever?

Answer: Please see the webpages for more details on Strep throat and Scarlet fever.
Streptococcus- A genus of bacteria. Gram-positive cocci, often occuring in chains of varying length. Require enriched media for growth and the colonies are small. Saprophytic (saprophyte-Free living micro-organisms obtaining food from dead and decaying animal or plant tisue) and parasitic species. Pathogenic species produce powerful toxins. In man they are responsible for numerous infections such as scarlatina (scarlet fever), tonsillitis (inflammation of tonsils), erysipelas (an acute, specific,infectious disease, in which there is a spreading, streptococcal inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, accompanied by fever and constitutional disturbances), endocarditis (inflammation of the inner lining of the heart-endothelium-most commonly due to rheumatic fever), rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis ( a term used in bilateral, non-suppurative inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidneys), and wound infections in hospital.
Scarlet fever- Infection by haemolytic streptococcus producing a rash. Occurs mainly in children. Begins commonly with a throat infection, leading to pyrexia (fever) and the outbreak of a punctate (dotted or spotted) erythematous (reddening) eruption of the skin. Characteristically the area around the mouth escapes (circumoral palor). In strep throat, there is no such rash.

How could someone catch scarlet fever in the 1800s?
Im writing a story for school, and I need to know how a 12-14 year old girl could catch scarlet fever. (She is going on a wagon train to California) Could she catch it from someone else? Is it not contagious that way? In my story its in the 1850s.
My plan is that the girl gets Scarlet Fever, then Meningitis. How can I work this out?
10 points to best, fastest answer.
I need an answer by tonight.
Thanks so much!
Answer: scarlet fever is contagious ( very much so) being in contact with anyone who has the disease will give it to you. I had all three varieties of the disease over a two year period. and I lived in an isolated northern settlement.
meningitis is from a different germ, you can't get one disease from another disease. look up meningitis on your search engine for more details, its a specific bacteria that gives it to you so you can't get it from having scarlet fever.
