Scarlet fever (medically known as scarlatina) is a contagious infectious disease that results from a strep throat infection caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. It is characterized by high fever, sore throat, fatigue, and bright red rashes on the body. These rashes typically begin on the face or neck and then spread to the chest, torso, arms, and legs. Although historically more prevalent, scarlet fever, which is more commonly seen in children aged 5-15, can now be effectively controlled in its early stages thanks to antibiotic treatment. However, it continues to appear in the form of regional outbreaks from time to time.
