Subject: scarlet fever explain it english -persian

Message: Scarlet fever was once a very serious childhood disease, but now is easily treatable. The incubation period is short, generally 1-2 days. Illness typically begins with a fever and sore throat. It may be accompanied by chills, vomiting, abdominal pain, and malaise. The streptococcal bacteria produces a toxin that causes a rash that appears one to two days after the onset of illness. The rash usually first appears on the neck and chest, then spreads over the body. It is described as "sandpapery" in quality. The texture of the rash is more important than the appearance in confirming the diagnosis. The rash can last for over a week. As the rash fades, peeling (desquamation) may occur around the finger tips, toes, and groin area. The main risk factors is infection with the bacteria that causes strep throat. A history of strep throat or scarlet fever in the community, neighborhood, or school may increase the risk of infection. Symptoms Return to top Sore throat Fever Vomiting Rash on neck and chest Rough "sandpaper" feel to the skin Peeling (desquamation) of the finger tips, toes, and groin Swollen, red tongue (strawberry tongue) Pastia's lines (bright red color in the creases of the underarm and groin) Chills Headache Generalized discomfort (malaise) Abdominal pain Muscle aches Signs and tests Return to top Physical examination Throat culture positive for Group A Strep Rapid antigen detection (throat swab) Treatment Return to top The treatment of scarlet fever is the same as the treatment of strep throat -- antibiotic therapy to eliminate the bacteria that causes this infection from the throat. This is crucial to preventing rheumatic fever, the most feared complication of strep throat and scarlet fever. Expectations (prognosis) Return to top With proper antibiotic treatment, the symptoms of scarlet fever should resolve quickly (though the rash can last for up to 2-3 weeks before it is fully resolved).
