Abstract
In recent years, scarlet fever has received a lot of attention. Although the question of the etiology has not been finally resolved to the present time, it must be admitted that the fact that hemolytic streptococcus plays an exceptional role in the pathogenesis of scarlet fever must be recognized as undeniable. Let the question of the etiology of scarlet fever have not yet been resolved, but measures to combat scarlet fever, directed mainly against hemolytic streptococcus (antitoxic serum), have practically justified themselves. Anti-scarlet fever serum has given excellent results in the treatment of toxic forms of scarlet fever, but the failure of its use in severe septic cases, the lack of a full guarantee in preventing the appearance of scarlet fever complications and its impotence in the treatment of complications that have already occurred, makes us still consider the problem of treating scarlet fever unresolved and look also other ways to treat scarlet fever and prevent its complications.
