"   Question Can you provide me with some more information about scarlet fever?   Answer Scarlet fever is rather an old term for an infection caused by a bug whose name is &amp;#039;streptococcus&amp;#039;.  The Americans still refer to a &amp;#039;strep throat&amp;#039; and really this is the same thing.  In the past, some people who had a throat infection caused by this bug also got damage to the valves in their hearts and this was the big problem with &amp;#039;scarlet fever&amp;#039;.  Nowadays, modern antibiotics can really deal with such an infection perfectly well.
