Scarlet Fever

Dogs can not get scarlet fever. They may get a strep infection from a human.

Your child is not okay to go to school with scarlet fever unless he or she has been taking antibiotics for at least twenty-four hours.

If the child has not been taking antibiotics for at least twenty-four hours, he or she is still highly infectious.

If the child has not yet been to see a physician, he or she needs to see a physician as soon as possible.

Scarlet fever is essentially a strept throat with a distinct rash. Its incubation period is ~ 7-10 days. Since it is a bacterial infection, the patient will need an antibiotic to improve.

Scarlet Fever affects thousands of young children per year. Scarlet fever is often found more in young girls between the ages of 2 to 8 then boys in the same age category Scarlet Fever normally lasts up to 2 weeks. After you/your child has been through treatment they should wait 24 hours before trying to interact with other human beings. Even after the treatment the disease is still contagious for 24 hours. If Scarlet Fever is not treated it can lead to kidney disease and heart attacks.

Ibuprofen is a good fever reducing pill.

An alternative is using cold and wet towels.

Necessary materials:

1-3 small towels, large enough to cover your face

1- bucket of ice water

A couch to lay on

Wet the towels and apply them rolled onto your forehead and under your underarms. When they warm up again, re-moisten them. Repaet this until the body cools off and try to fall asleep, when done so and taken with a fever reducer, the fever may go away after you nap.

Scabies and chicken box are unrelated infections, and having chicken pox in the past does not protect against scabies.

No, yellow fever is referred to as "yellow fever", without any capitalizations, unless at the beginning of a sentence or quote.

It's a matter of record that Scarlet fever has been known to leave a child deaf, blind and with little or no sense of taste or smell. Of course, this is a relatively rare occurrence, but it can and does happen.

Children since they do not have a good immune system yet.

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.

it really depends on how bad the sunburn was. my advice would be to but lots of aloe on it and a good thick lotion..like cetaphil

Sunburn itch will last as long as you have blisters on burned skin

My daughter recently was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever. She was misdiagnosed three times (that's three separate visits to the hospital ER department!) within a 72-hour period. I would like to know how many cases of SF are reported in the US annually. The Center for Disease Control provides only broad information and classifies SF among Group A Streptococcal diseases. In my daughter's case, SF did not advance to the Rheumatic Fever stage, and is currently being treated with oral and intravenous antibiotics. Any information would be helpful as this matter is scheduled to be reviewed by the hospital review board next week.
