Scarlet Fever
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The fundamental composition of scarlet fever is that of a highly contagious, infectious disease. Caused by an infection with Group A streptococcal bacteria, the scarlet colored cheek rash is the direct result of a toxin released by this particular bacteria. While not all people develop a rash – severe or otherwise – it still remains the most telltale symptom of scarlet fever; as well, not all streptococci produce this toxin. For example, two siblings who present with streptococcal would not necessarily display the red rash of scarlet fever if he or she was not sensitive to the toxin. The writer discusses symptoms, cause, diagnosis, treatment and prevention as they relate to scarlet fever. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Initially, however, antipsychotic (neuroleptic) drugs are prescribed as a means by which to begin treatment, with standard typical medications including haloperidol, chlorpromazine and thioridazine, and atypical agents including clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine and quetiapine.
