  1. The 1913 yearbook of Simmons College in #Boston included this bright red square, to mark the class of 1913's experience with scarlet fever as freshmen (apparently the students were sent home, and had to make up the time during warmer summer months). Makes me wonder about whether (and how) recent school yearbooks have marked #COVID shutdowns. (I know that a lot of colleges don't have #yearbooks anymore.) #scarletfever @simmonsuniv

    The bacterium responsible for #scarletFever was not introduced to the Americas by Europeans.
    A research team led by Eurac Research has identified the #Streptococcus pyogenes bacterium in a pre-Columbian Bolivian mummy and, for the first time, reconstructed the genome of this centuries-old pathogen.

    Vancouver quartet Scarlet Fever releases their debut album, girl with shank, on November 1, 2025, via play dead. The indie rock album is a coming-of-age conceptualization, exploring young adulthood in a post-pandemic, social media-focused society. The band has honed a sound that pairs 90s-style blown-out riffs with undeniable pop sensibility, capturing the emotional intensity of their growing reputation on the West Coast DIY circuit.

Specific treatment is not available, and diagnosis is based on epidemiological data and clinical symptoms. Prevention includes early detection and isolation of the infection source. Patients should be isolated for 24 hours after receiving the first dose of antibiotics or for 21 days if antibiotics are not prescribed. #ScarletFever #OdessaHealth

  13. My 7 year old son has #fever, #cough & lethargy...took him to #GP & was prescribed #amoxicillan for a chest infection & as he has some #ScarletFever & #StrepA symptoms.

    I had to then ring around to see if any local pharmacies had any amoxicillan left as there is such a shortage.

    A mum was crying in there as she couldn't get the medicine she needed for her penicillin allergic sick child.

    GP said it's the worst she has seen the #NHS in 19 years including during covid. #ToryCriminals #SaveOurNHS

  15. People at my work are dropping like flies and it's not #COVID19. I had to share a meeting room all day yesterday for a workshop with people who were continually coughing.

    Plus there is now #ScarletFever reported at my 7 year old son''s school. I feel powerless to do anything about it and it's only a matter of time until me and my family is also sick.

    Anyone else feel the same?

    Oh and by the way happy #FollowBackFriday #FBPE #FBPA #RejoinEU #SingleMarket

  19. I don't know if this video will be useful to people who are worried about #StrepA, but I have always found #DrJohnCampbell produces very informative videos on his channel and he always references good sources of data

  22. Heartbreaking that this has killed 9 children so far 💔 Signs of #ScarletFever to look out for right now.

    GP + antibiotics ASAP 😷

  23. Recent events have reminded us that #Diphtheria and #ScarletFever are not only to be found on Victorian death certificates. But #genealogy often throws up some really sad stories. And as so often #poverty is at the root of this one.

  24. CW: Strep A outbreak

    Frankly, it really frightens me that we don't know why Strep A is becoming more of a problem. It's a risk that's been increasing through the last 10 years, and we have no clear idea why. Ain't antibiotic resistance. Ain't covid. And be under no illusions, it's really dangerous. #StrepA #ScarletFever #Bacteria #Medicine #Microbiology bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surr
