SCARPA'S APLATISSEMENT 



1298 



SCHEELIZATION 



very red face. S. Fever, an acute, specific, epidemic, 

 contagious disease, characterized by a scarlet flush 

 spreading progressively from the face over the body, 

 ending on about the seventh day in desquamation of 

 the cuticle. The fever is not high in the simple cases, 

 but may rise to a very high point in the graver cases. 

 The tongue is the characteristic " strawberry tongue," 

 with prominent papillae, and there is a red, swollen, 

 and inflamed condition of the tonsils, uvula, and soft 

 palate, upon which a soft, white film may be deposited. 

 Acute nephritis and suppurative otitis are frequent 

 complications or sequelae. In a small proportion of 

 the cases the patient will undergo a relapse, and pass 

 through a second attack of the disease of varying 

 severity. One attack of the disease protects against 

 a second attack, but not quite to the same extent as 

 in measles. The disease is most frequent in children 

 near the age of five years, and after this period the 

 liability to contract the disease diminishes rapidly.
