AB  - A  7-year-old  boy  is  brought  to  the  family  physician's  office  with  a  rough  red  rash  on  his  trunk  (Figures  34-1  and  34-2)  along  with  fever  and  a  sore  throat.  The  sandpaper  rash  and  signs  consistent  with  strep  pharyngitis  lead  the  physician  to  diagnose  scarlet  fever.  The  physician  explains  the  diagnosis  to  the  mother  and  oral  Pen  VK  is  prescribed.  The  boy  feels  markedly  better  by  the  next  day,  and  the  mother  continues  to  give  the  penicillin  for  the  full  10  days  as  directed  to  prevent  rheumatic  fever.
