The Scarlet Fever epidemic peaked in the 19th century, particularly in the 1850s and 1860s, but the disease has not been completely eradicated. By the early 20th century, advancements in medicine and public health measures significantly reduced its incidence. The widespread use of antibiotics in the mid-20th century further diminished the severity and prevalence of scarlet fever. Today, while cases still occur, they are relatively rare and typically manageable with treatment.
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.
