This diagram charts the progressive evolution of symptoms associated with the disease scarlet fever, sometimes called scarlatina, a disease caused by a bacterium referred to as group-A Streptococcus, or group A strep (GAS), the same bacteria that causes strep throat. This image was from the text by Dr. Saul Krugman, and Dr. Robert Ward entitled, “Infectious Diseases of Children, 4th Edition”. Scarlet fever is a rash that sometimes occurs in people that have strep throat. People with scarlet fever typically also have a high fever, and a strawberry-like appearance of the tongue. The rash of scarlet fever is usually seen in children under the age of 18.
