Cases of scarlet fever are 'higher than expected', report the UK Government
Scarlet fever is on the rise in the UK and the Government has warned parents to be aware of the symptoms.
Scarlet fever is fully treatable with medication today. Considered a Victorian disease, cases of scarlet fever were more common back in the 1800s. It was a lethal illness until the invention of penicillin in 1928 and caused death in 15-20 per cent of those infected. Doctors have added that parents also need to look out for small, raised bumps which will make skin feel rough and sandpaper-like to the touch.
