Abstract
Scarlet fever, a bacterial illness caused by group A Streptococcus, is characterized by a distinctive red rash, sore throat, and high fever. Though once a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality, its incidence has significantly decreased with the advent of antibiotics. Despite this, recent epidemiological data indicates periodic resurgences, emphasizing the importance of continued vigilance in diagnosis, treatment, and public health management.
