Kawasaki Disease vs. Scarlet Fever

Both Kawasaki disease and Scarlet fever cause elevations in body temperature, adenopathy, strawberry tongue, rash, and desquamation.

Kawasaki disease is evaluated for with serial echocardiography. In scarlet fever, evidence of streptococcal infection is verified with a rapid antigen test or culture. Treatment for Kawasaki disease includes high-dose aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulins, while scarlet fever is treated with antibiotics that target streptococcus pyogenes. Kawasaki disease can cause aneurysm formation in a variety of locations and depressed cardiac contractility. Scarlet fever is associated with immune complications that include rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. 📺 Subscribe To My Channel and Get More Great Quizzes and Tutorials    / @med4vl   Disclaimer: All the information provided by Medical Education for Visual Learners and associated videos are strictly for informational purposes only.
