Can you have scarlet fever without having a rash?

No. Scarlet fever (called Scarlatina in days gone by) is defined as a particular rash in the setting of a proven streptococcal infection. Usually, this is strep pharyngitis (sore throat), but it can be any strep infection (skin, etc). The rash is pretty classic, involving the face with sparing of the area around the mouth and lips (peri-oral pallor - because the area looks pale compared to the rest of the face), and involving the creased areas more than others (armpits, groin folds, etc). The rash also feels very rough to the touch - leading it to be called a "sandpaper rash." I saw a patient with this last week :)


What diseases were in the 1400s that aren't in the present day and age?

The only disease that is altogether gone is smallpox. But there are a number of diseases that were around in those days that are rarely found today, including polio, scarlet fever, cholera, typhoid fever, typhus, diphtheria, and others. Most of these were made rare by better sanitation, which was introduced starting in the 1890s, antibiotics, introduced in the 1940s, or vaccinations, which began among Europeans about 1800 or a little earlier.


Which is correct Gone are the days or Gone were the days?

"Gone are the days" is the correct phrase to use. It implies that the days are currently gone and no longer present. "Gone were the days" would suggest that the days were gone at some point in the past, but may not necessarily be gone now.

What body systems does scarlet fever affect?

Scarlet fever is a disease caused by an exotoxin released by Streptococcus pyogenes. It is characterized by sore throat, fever, a 'strawberry tongue', and a fine sandpaper rash over the upper body that may spread to cover the uvula (Forchheimer spots). * Bright red tongue with a "strawberry" appearance * Characteristic rash, which: * is fine, red, and rough-textured; it blanches upon pressure * appears 12-48 hours after the fever * generally starts on the chest, axilla (armpits), and behind the ears * is worse in the skin folds * Pastia lines (where the rash becomes confluent in the arm pits and groins) appear and persist after the rash is gone * The rash begins to fade three to four days after onset and desquamation (peeling) begins. "This phase begins with flakes peeling from the face. Peeling from the palms and around the fingers occurs about a week later ."[1] Peeling also occurs in axilla, groin, and tips of the fingers and toes.[2] Diagnosis of scarlet fever is clinical. The blood tests shows marked leukocytosis with neutrophilia and conservated or increased eosinophils, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and elevation of antistreptolysin O titer. Blood culture is rarely positive, but the streptococci can usually be demonstrated in throat culture. The complications of scarlet fever include septic complications due to spread of streptococcus in blood and immune-mediated complications due to an aberrant immune response. Septic complications, today rare, include ear and sinus infection, streptococcal pneumonia, empyema thoracis, meningitis and full-blown sepsis, upon which the condition may be called malignant scarlet fever. Immune complications include acute glomerulonephritis, rheumatic fever and erythema nodosum. The secondary scarlatinous disease, or secondary malignant syndrome of scarlet fever, includes renewed fever, renewed angina, septic ear, nose, and throat complications and kidney infection or rheumatic fever and is seen around the eighteenth day of untreated scarlet fever.
