What is "scarlet fever"?
Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria. It typically occurs in children and has symptoms such as high fever, sore throat, swollen glands, and a characteristic rash that feels rough like sandpaper. The rash usually starts on the chest and abdomen and spreads to other parts of the body. Scarlet fever is highly contagious and spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing saliva or mucus. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to help clear the infection and reduce the risk of complications. With quick treatment, most cases of scarlet fever resolve without serious problems.
