Sažetak
Scarlet fever typically presents with distinctive erythematous
papular rash following pharyngitis. Atypical forms may develop, making the diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a girl with feve, and unusual vesicular
skin eruption (miliaria scarlatinosa) preceded by a skin infection, without mucosal changes. Leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, and antistreptolysin O-titer
were elevated. Bacteriological swabs of the skin injury revealed Streptococcus
pyogenes. Histopathology was compatible with scarlet fever exanthema. Intramuscular penicillin and topical wound care induced complete remission. It is
of great importance to be aware of uncommon clinical presentations of scarlet
fever in order to establish a timely diagnosis and prevent potential complications.
