How can we stop scarlet fever from happening ?


I don't know

Scarlet fever or scarlatina is the result of a strep infection just like when you have strep throat. It is treated with antibiotics. You should take the same precautions to avoid scarlet fever as you would to avoid strep throat.

This is being a droplet infection by isolating the patient and taking precautions to avoid the airborne infection.
