Yes: Scarlatina is another name for a strep a infection by a strain that produces the chemical that causes a red rash. The strep infection could be passed to the adult through skin contact with secretions of an infected kid. After the kid is on antibiotics for 24 hrs he/she would be unlikely to spread it to anyone.
