If a child truly has Scarlet Fever, the child needs to be kept at home during treatment, unless otherwise directed by a physician.

School exams can always wait and be re-scheduled.

Here is something I gto off wikipedia This disease was known before the twentieth century as scarlatina (from the Italian scarlattina). Since the middle of the twentieth century the disease has, for reasons which are not understood, become much milder in its effects, and the usage of the name scarlatina has now replaced the term "scarlet fever" in some areas. Many novels depicting life before the nineteenth century (see Scarlet fever in popular culture below) describe scarlet fever as an acute disease being followed by many months spent in convalescence. The convalescence was probably due to complications with rheumatic fever or even due to the treatments tried. Prior to an understanding of how streptococcus was spread and modern medicine, it was also not uncommon to destroy or burn the personal effects of a person afflicted with scarlet fever to prevent transmission to other people.

Rheumatic fever most commonly affects the mitral valve. Next is aortic valve. Other valves are less commonly and / or less affected. The degree of damage is very much less after the first attack. If you put the child on long term injection benzathine penicillin, practically there is no damage to the heart valves. After repeated bouts of rheumatic fever the valve get progressively damaged. This little damage can also be prevented by judicious use of corticosteroids, probably. With repead attacks of rheumatic fever, the heart valves get badly damaged and need very expensive and unnecessary valve replacement surgery.

However, the rash can last for up to 2 - 3 weeks before it fully goes away.

Steps to prevent scarlet fever include: * Get early treatment for strep infections, including strep throat. * Do not return to school or work until you have taken your antibiotic at least 24 hours or your provider has given you approval. * Avoid contact with people who have untreated strep infections. * Do not share cups, utensils, towels, bed linen, or personal items with infected people. * Wash your hands often, especially after touching someone who may have an infection. * Several vaccines are currently under development.

Scarlet fever can be brought under control by penicillin. Aside from having to teat diarrhoea, the treatment and course of scarlet fever is the same as strep throat. Where there is a penicillin allergy, clindamycin or erythromycin is also effective. After 24 hours of treatment victims should no longer be infectious. People that have been exposed to the disease should watch for symptoms for a week particularly in the case of very young children. it is however extremely unusual for toddlers to contract the disease.

Scarlet fever is a disease that attacks children. It causes fever, a red rash, and can be deadly if not treated quickly. Though no exact date for the discovery of the illness exists, it was being written about by Hippocrates in the 400s BC.

I know this because my brother had it a few months back. It's common for children, and usually shows with a rash or even a resistance to eat. If the person won't eat it's because their glands get messed up and they usually have a sore throat. You should definitely see a doctor if you think someone you know has it. It's not contagious, but it IS viral. Usually the doc will give you some antibiotics and painkillers, and near the end you get a 'strawberry tongue'. The Tongue goes quite red and has yellow or White spots on it. It can sometimes lead to tonsilitis, which happened to my now three year old brother. He had his tonsils removed and we have noticed such a change in his behaviour and everything. Even his speech is better. I hope this helped, Alice (aged 12)

Blood spreading. If this is in reference to Mack the Knife, it's referring to the way blood would billow like smoke in water when a shark attacks.
