A member asked:
Help plz! can scarlet fever cause scar tissue on the brain (which is the cause of one's epileptic seizures)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Scarlet fever is the combination of Strep infection in the throat and rash to the skin (usually face). In the absence of an invasive Strep infection, such as bacterial meningitis, it would be unlikely that the Scarlet Fever has damaged the brain.
