It is usually associated with an infection by streptococci, such as strep throat. It may also be associated with wounds or burns that become infected. The rash of scarlet fever is typically a fine, “sandpaper-like” rash that consists of small, red bumps. Scarlet fever most commonly occurs in children between the ages of 2 and 10. It is spread from direct contact with a child who is infected, usually through secretions from the mouth or nose.

Strep throat and scarlet fever are different forms of a bacterial disease caused by infection with group A (beta-hemolytic) streptococci. When the bacteria infect the throat, the illness is called strep throat Streptococci can also produce a toxin which results in a destinctive skin rash. When this occurs, the illness is called scarlet fever. How do you get strep throat/scarlet fever? You can get strep throat/scarlet fever by close contact with persons infected with the bacteria. Occasionally, both strep throat and scarlet fever are transmitted indirectly by contact with objects used by infected persons or contaminated hands. Group A streptococci have also been associated with foodborne outbreaks. What are the symptoms of strep throat/scarlet fever? Individuals with strep throat frequently have fever and an inflamed, painful throat with swelling of the tonsils. Patients with scarlet fever may have all of the symptoms associated with strep throat, plus a fine, reddish rash. The rash commonly appears on the neck, chest, armpits, elbows, groin, and inner surfaces of the thighs. In severe cases of scarlet fever, "strawberry tongue," vomiting, and high fever may also be present. During recovery from scarlet fever, the skin may slough off the fingers and toes. When do symptoms start?

23. Foodborne Scarlet Fever At Two Private Schools On O‘ahu Communicable Disease Report. Foodborne scarlet fever at Two Private Schools onO‘ahu. Background. The school had received several reports of scarlet fever. http://www.state.hi.us/health/resource/comm_dis/r98-scarlet.html

Skip Menu Communicable Disease Report Foodborne Scarlet Fever at Two Private Schools on O‘ahu On November 4, 1997, the Epidemiology Branch was notified of increased absenteeism on November 3 and 4 at a private school in Honolulu. The school had received several reports of scarlet fever. School officials reported anecdotally that an outbreak of scarlet fever had occurred at another private school during the previous week. On November 5 a local pediatrician notified the Branch of increased culture-confirmed diagnoses of Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis and scarlet fever among students from both schools. The two schools did not share common grounds or activities, but both employed the same lunch caterer. A third school, also served by the same caterer, reported normal absenteeism. Methods: Absentee records were collected for Schools A and B. Since the outbreak at School A had subsided by the time the DOH was notified, case-finding at School A was accomplished by collecting medical excuse slips submitted by previously absent students. At School B, case-finding was accomplished by interviewing parents and asking them to provide information about each child’s symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and activities. A case was defined as a student with onset of either laboratory-confirmed or physician-diagnosed Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis or scarlet fever between October 28 and November 7 at School A, or between October 31 and November 7 at School B. When case-finding interviews for School B revealed that eating lunch in the school cafeteria was common among those ill, lunch service schedules and menus for Schools A, B, and C were examined. Food history questionnaires were subsequently administered to all third through twelth graders at School B.

This page was reviewed or revised on Thursday, February 27, 2003. Scarlet fever is a form of the streptococcal disease characterized by a skin rash. The streptococci secrete a toxin which causes a skin rash to appear. Ordinarily scarlet fever evolves from the initial illness of strep throat, although the rash only occurs in 10% of the cases of strep throat. Scarlet fever can also be present in those who are suffering from other infections caused by the streptococcal bacteria, such as a streptococcal infection of the skin and soft tissue, surgical wounds, or the uterus.

I remember her telling about how she had neighbors with scarlet fever, and she would buy groceries for them. The neighbors had to bring their money outside, hang it on a clothesline and pour hot water over it," tells Mary Squier, a woman who worked at McCray Memorial Hospital for nearly 45 years. "This was before 1914." From November 1978 to November 1993, Squier served as the director of medical records at McCray. She remembers hearing about early-century scares like typhoid fever, influenza and scarlet fever. The scare that lives in her memory most is polio. "With the polio vaccines, there was a shot, then a sugar cube that you took orally," Squier says. "Now you don't hear about it."

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE Monday, April 9, 2001 Jeff Minerd jminerd@niaid.nih.gov Scientists Sequence Genome of Strep Throat, Scarlet Fever Bacterium Scientists have completed sequencing the genome of Streptococcus pyogenes , a bacterium that causes a wide variety of human diseases. The "rap sheet" on this organism, also known as group A streptococci or GAS, stretches long: GAS infection can lead to strep throat, scarlet fever, the skin infection impetigo, pneumonia, acute kidney inflammation, toxic shock syndrome, blood "poisoning," acute rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease, and the flesh-eating disease known as necrotizing fasciitis. "This exceptionally virulent organism is difficult to study because it infects only humans and very few animal models of group A strep diseases exist," says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). "We need to know more about how group A strep interact with humans to cause so many different illnesses. The genetic sequence should shed light on these questions and pave the way for better treatment and prevention." "Infection with this bacterium occurs worldwide, and acute rheumatic fever is the major cause of heart disease in children of developing countries," says Fran Rubin, Ph.D., a respiratory diseases program officer at NIAID. "This is one reason why sequencing this organism is so critical." Several million cases of strep throat and impetigo occur each year in the United States. In addition, in 1999 GAS infection led to 9,400 more serious illnesses such as toxic shock syndrome or necrotizing fasciitis in the United States. These invasive diseases occur when GAS get into parts of the body where bacteria are not usually found, such as the blood and muscles.

August 2002 Group A Streptococcal Infections OVERVIEW Group A streptococcal infections are caused by group A streptococcus, a bacterium responsible for a variety of health problems. These infections can range from mild skin infection or sore throat to invasive, life-threatening conditions such as toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis. Most people are familiar with strep throat, which along with minor skin infection, is the most common form of the disease. Experts estimate that more than 10 million mild infections like these occur every year. In addition to step throat and superficial skin infections, group A strep bacteria can cause infections in tissues at specific body sites, including lungs, bones, spinal cord, and the abdominal cavity. STREP THROAT What is strep throat and what are the symptoms? Your doctor may call it acute streptococcal pharyngitis. People with strep throat infections have a red and painful sore throat with white patches on their tonsils. A person may also have swollen lymph nodes in the neck, run a fever, and have a headache. Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain can occur but are more common in children than in adults. How does Group A strep spread to others?
