A recent report from the University of Melbourne Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity examines the incidence, predictors, and severity of scarlet fever in Victoria, Australia from 2007 to 2017. The study found that scarlet fever cases were most common in children under 10 years old, males, and during the winter and spring months. While there were no deaths from scarlet fever during the study period, 24% of cases required hospitalization. The annual incidence of scarlet fever remained stable, but the identification of a variant associated with epidemic scarlet fever overseas suggests a risk of future outbreaks.

A recent study conducted in mainland China aimed to uncover the mechanism behind the recurrent outbreaks of scarlet fever, a contagious disease characterized by a red rash. The study analyzed a longitudinal public dataset covering 31 provinces in China and found that scarlet fever epidemics generally occur twice a year, with the timing of outbreaks peaking progressively from southern to northern regions. The study also established a correlation between the oscillation characteristics of scarlet fever and natural meteorological factors. These findings could be valuable for informing government prevention and control measures for the scarlet fever epidemic in China. However, it is important to note that this study has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Lanzhou University in China examined the association between meteorological factors, air pollutants, and scarlet fever (SF) in children in Northwest China. The study found that factors such as ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, temperature, pressure, water vapor pressure, and wind speed were significantly correlated with SF. High temperature, pressure, ozone, and sulfur dioxide were identified as the most important factors affecting the occurrence of SF in children. This research provides valuable insights for future studies and the formulation of disease prevention policies. [Extracted from the article]

A report from the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland discusses the increased incidence of group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections in children following the COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on the pulmonary manifestations of GAS infections, particularly complicated community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The research found that GAS was the dominant cause of complicated CAP in children, with symptoms of scarlet fever present in 68.2% of GAS pneumonia patients. The study highlights the need for clinicians to be aware of the current epidemiological situation and the more severe course of GAS pneumonia in children, particularly those presenting with symptoms of scarlet fever and preceding viral infection.
