R. Rodes of Mexico, Mo. The patient was a large, strongly built blond of 17, a student at a military academy, where he boarded. The health of his family and his previous health were good. As far as could be learned, he had not been exposed to scarlet fever.About the middle of November last, he "broke out red all over." He did not feel more than slightly ill. He had slight sore throat and moderate fever for about two days. The eruption lasted three days, and was immediately followed by profuse furfuraceous and lamellar scaling, the epidermis coming off from the palms in large strips. There were no sequelae. The attending physician made a diagnosis of scarlet fever.He apparently remained in perfect health until January 18, SN - 0096-6029 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archderm.1920.02350110098007 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archderm.1920.02350110098007 ER -
