Scarlet fever is an infectious disease caused by the erythrogenic toxin produced by β-hemolytic streptococci. The prodrome is 12-24 hours of fever, emesis, sore throat, and headache. If not treated, the fever rises up to 39.5 °C and may last up to 5-7 days. In case of a length in prodrome , complications may occur.We report a five-year-old case who presented with Bell’s paralysis together with scarlet fever. We emphasize that scarlet fever should be kept in mind in the treatment and follow-up of the patients presenting with facial paralysis.
