Scarlet fever extrabuccal

Extrabuccal scarlet fever (lat. scarlatina extrabuccalis; from lat. extra - outside and bucca - cheek) is a type of scarlet fever in which the rash is localized outside the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx.

With extrabuccal scarlet fever, rashes appear immediately on the skin, bypassing the mucous membrane of the oropharynx. This leads to a blurred clinical picture of the disease, when the sore throat characteristic of scarlet fever is absent.

The diagnosis of extrabuccal scarlet fever is confirmed by the detection of antibodies to the erythrogenic toxin of group A streptococcus in the patient's blood. Treatment is usually with antibiotics.

The prognosis with timely treatment is favorable. Complications rarely develop.

Scarlet fever is an acute infectious disease that is caused by group A streptococcal infection and is transmitted through contact with a patient or carrier of the infection. It is manifested by high fever, redness of the throat, skin rash, and can lead to complications such as acute otitis media, sinusitis, rheumatic fever and others. Extrabuccal scarlet fever streptodermatitis is a rare disease characterized by skin rashes associated with scarlet fever. This disease can begin a week before the main manifestation of scarlet fever or within a week after. Symptoms may include redness on the neck and face, buboes, and itching that may spread to the skin of the body. Treatment for extrabuccal scarlet disease includes antibiotics and antifungals. Diagnosis includes blood tests and swabs to identify bacteria. Prevention includes regular hand washing, avoiding contact with infected people and practicing good hygiene. In conclusion, extrabuccal scarlet streptodermatitis is a rare but serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment.
