Best Answer

There were frequent scarlet fever epidemics during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The development of antibiotics since the 1940's has made the disease treatable. The spreading of scarlet fever was generally by direct or airborne contact, and improved sanitation and personal hygiene have helped in reducing its occurrence.
