There is an increased morbidity, but things are not dramatic, said the general practitioner Dr. Stanislava Kraiselska in an interview for the show "Before All".

She emphasized that some

of the submitted information about scarlet fever is incorrect

.

According to her, there is a false promotion: 

"Very often the parent self-purposely releases throat secretions on the child, without any obvious clinical signs. Streptococcus pyogenes is isolated, which is also the cause of scarlet fever, but also of other diseases, and we may also have a healthy carrier. The nurse at the school says "Quickly they write a notice of scarlet fever". This is not scarlet fever".

In order to make a diagnosis of scarlet fever, there are certain clinical criteria, she emphasized and described them.

According to her, there is no scarlet fever without angina, but there can be only angina without scarlet fever.
