Dick Test

The Dick test, also known as the scarlet fever test or Dick's test, is a test that is used to determine the level of sensitivity to scarlet fever, an infectious disease caused by group A hemolytic streptococci (Haemophilus influenzae). The Dick test is one of the most accurate tests for determining the presence of immunity to scarlet fever in people who have not previously had the disease.

The Dick test is performed by injecting a small dose of a toxin subcutaneously produced by the bacteria that causes scarlet fever. If a person is not immune to this disease, then after administration of the toxin he may experience a positive reaction. This means the body is reacting to the toxin and the person may develop scarlet fever.

A positive reaction to the Dick test may appear as redness of the skin at the injection site. This occurs because the toxin causes local inflammation at the injection site, which manifests itself as redness of the skin. However, if a person already has immunity to scarlet fever, the test will be negative.

The Dick test is often used in medicine to diagnose scarlet fever in children, as well as to determine the effectiveness of vaccination against this disease.
