Can scarlet fever recur

summary

Scarlet fever is caused by some bacterial infections. When suffering from this disease again, we need to use penicillin to relieve the pain of the disease in time, control the continuous bacterial infection, and let the children get effective treatment in time. Let's talk about whether scarlet fever can still be cured.

Can scarlet fever recur

First, the body infected with scarlet fever can produce antibodies against rubella toxin, but there is no cross immunity between different antigenicity of rubella toxin. Therefore, the group A Streptococcus infected with another kind of rubella toxin can still relapse after suffering from scarlet fever. It's better to go to the hospital to have a look again, make a definite diagnosis and then treat symptomatically.

Second: scarlet fever is a bacterial invasion. The bacteria that invaded again did not mutate. Will only turn into tonsil inflammation - throat discomfort, congestion and swelling. If the mutant invades. It's going to be the same as the first one - a rash. Scarlet fever is not immune. You may get it before you are 10 years old. Because there are five serotypes of rubella toxin and there is no cross immunity, scarlet fever can be reinfected. Children under the age of 10 are susceptible.

Third: scarlet fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the infection of B hemolytic streptococcus (mainly group a strain) which produces rubella toxin. Clinically, the main symptoms are fever, angina, diffuse bright red skin rash and obvious rash regression and desquamation. Penicillin is the first choice for scarlet fever. After the disease will produce this kind of flora lasting immunity, usually does not recur.

matters needing attention
