Scarlet fever is primarily caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria, which can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person's skin lesions or by touching surfaces contaminated with the bacteria. The disease is characterized by a bright red rash, fever, and a sore throat. Scarlet fever is most common in children and can be treated effectively with antibiotics.
