Measles, scarlet fever and slapped cheek

[@ZtheGypsy]

Thank you for putting this information out there. My daughter has had all her vaccinations and was up to date on all vax at the time she fell ill. 5 years ago, she kept getting recurring strep throat infection. Doctors and eventually specialists continued treating it with stronger & higher doses of antibiotics (she was 6 years old at the time) to the point where she was taking stronger doses of antibiotics than normal adults would be prescribed. She just wasn’t getting well. She would seem to get well for a few days only to relapse again. She was on her 4th-5th round of antibiotics while her temperature rose to over 104 degrees Fahrenheit and her body started developing a bright red rash all over, from head to toe and everywhere in between, I have never seen anything like it. She seemed like she was swelling as well, and was pouring sweat from high fever, she was completely out of it and started talking out of her head. I scooped her up and rushed her to the nearest urgent care facility, which checked her temp, strep test, & WBC counts again. Her temp was reaching 105, her strep was still positive, & her wbc count was over 50k. The doctors at the clinic said her whole body covered in that bright red rash appeared to be Scarlett Fever and she was rushed to the Children’s Hospital where they verified it was definitely Scarlett Fever and ran a multitude of tests to try to determine why she wasn’t getting better on all the antibiotics and also why her WBC count was so incredibly high… they hooked her up to an IV and began administering antibiotics/steroids & other meds & fluids into her system. a few days later her WBC count had came down to 39k (still very high for a 6 year old child) but they released her from hospital and they were never able to explain why oral antibiotics were not working or why her WBC count was so high or why she developed Scarlett Fever (other than Scarlett Fever from Strep). We had a difficult time getting people outside of the medical field (educators/friends) to believe us that she had Scarlett Fever & that kids can still develop Scarlett Fever. One year later, she went right back through this same cycle, & had Scarlett Fever again and thankfully recovered much more quickly the 2nd time around.
