On the prognosis of scarlet fever complications. P. S. Galtsov (Rus. Klin., 1927, No. 34)

The author distinguishes three main forms of scarlet fever: 1) intoxication, in which central nervous system intoxication phenomena prevail, and clinical signs of which are frequent vomiting, unconsciousness, delirium and convulsions; 2) local, where from the first days there is a significant lesion of pharynx and nasopharynx with no visible signs of intoxication; 3) exanthematous, in which there are no large local lesions and no irritation of the central and autonomic nervous system, but the main manifestation of the disease is a rash.
