What Is Strep Throat?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Scarlet Fever
Strep throat is fairly easy to treat. That does not mean to say it should not be addressed with a degree of urgency, however, because it can develop into a condition that is rather more serious. One example of such a condition is scarlet fever, and scarlet fever has the potential to be very serious indeed.
Scarlet fever only occurs when cases of strep throat have become more severe. The symptoms of scarlet fever are mostly similar to those of strep throat, only they are more severe. Scarlet fever itself is relatively easy to treat but, again, treatment should be sought for the patient as soon as possible.
