Caption:
Displaying her right torso and right arm, this female patient, who was lying prone in a clinical setting, revealed a patchy mottled skin rash, which was diagnosed as being a case of scarlet fever, caused by a bacterium referred to as group-A Streptococcus, or group A strep (GAS). 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.
