How many cases of scarlet fever are there? how many cases of scarlet fever are reported in america each year?

Not uncommon: Scarlet fever affects a subset of strep a infections when the strain produces the extra chemical that produces the rash. It is so common & prevalent within & outside the us that reporting is neither required or relevant.
