Well, honey, I hate to break it to you, but scarlet fever ain't exactly the Grim Reaper of diseases. Nowadays, it's pretty rare for someone to kick the bucket from it. But if you're really curious, I'd say maybe a handful of folks worldwide might meet their maker from scarlet fever each year. Just remember to wash your hands and cover your mouth when you cough, and you should be just fine, darling.
Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. The mortality rate for scarlet fever has significantly decreased with the advent of antibiotics. However, in rare cases where complications arise, such as sepsis or Toxic shock syndrome, scarlet fever can lead to death. The exact number of deaths from scarlet fever each year is difficult to determine as it is relatively rare in developed countries with access to medical care.
Currently, it is estimated that about five people die from scarlet fever a year in the United States. In the past, epidemics caused an increase in fatalities from this illness. For example, it is known that 2089 people died from scarlet fever in Massachusetts alone during the 1858-59 epidemic.
