She looks so much like scarlet fever that this is the one time we would treat a strep throat even without the culture results." Dr. Kathleen Nelson, a professor of pediatrics- Scarlet fever, a disease whose name once terrified parents across America, killed thousands of children every year a few generations ago. But the number of childhood deaths at the hand of this disease is now zero, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Three-year-old Kenyah Jennings came to the emergency room with a sore throat, a fever and a rash. Her "rapid" strep test came back negative, yet she shows all of the signs of scarlet fever, which is simply a streptococcus infection with a red rash. "Now what I can see on Kenyah is that the rash looks like it is accentuated in her crease marks [on the other side of her elbow]. Do you see that, where it looks redder here and it looks real red there and there and there?" Dr. Kathleen Nelson, a professor of pediatrics, during her examination of Kenyah.

She is the co-author of "The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Children." Question: My 6 year old daughter developed Scarlet Fever and had to be treated with antibiotics. Her pediatrician told me that Scarlet Fever is an untreated and more advanced form of strep throat. If this is indeed the case, why didn't she demonstrate any symptoms of strep throat which would have enabled me to have her treated immediately? She seemed to be fine one day, extremely sick with full-blown scarlet fever, the next. Answer: Streptococcus (Group A) is a bacteria that has a liking for the tonsils and throat tissue. Hence, the term Strep Throat. At times, it is quite painful causing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, enlarged neck glands and fever. There may also be other flu-like symptoms such as muscle aches and weakness.

She has scarlet fever and is on antibiotics. My question is: my friend doesn't have a family doctor. Can her daughter still have scarlet fever, even without symptoms (except cold symptoms). Will it go away without antibiotic treatment? What about developing into rheumatic fever? Any help will be appreciated. Missy Answer: The combination of Strep throat and the rash associated with it is called Scarlet Fever. The treatment is antibiotics (usually Penicillin or similar antibiotic if the child is Penicillin allergic).

It most often strikes children between the ages of 2 and 10. The bacteria that causes scarlet fever releases a toxin, producing the bright red rash that gives the illness its name. Other than the rash, the symptoms and progress of scarlet fever are the same as those of strep throat. What are the symptoms?

But nowadays, it's treated with antibiotics and presents few complications. It's the same thing as strep throat, only with the rash. As long as your DD takes all the antibiotics she should feel better within 12-24 hours, although the rash may start peeling and get a little itchy within a few days. Pam Isn't scarlet fever bacterial? I thought is was caused by the same bacteria that causes strep throat. Are you sure he said the VIRUS was in her bloodstream? If so, does she have a virus AS WELL as scarlet fever? My son had scarlet fever last year. Once he was on the antibiotics he felt better almost immediately. He was not throwing up while he had it although sometimes that is caused by the onset of fever, not necessarily the infection.
