What is another word for scarlatina?
Pronunciation: [skˌɑːlɐtˈiːnə] (IPA) 
Scarlatina is a bacterial infection that primarily affects children and causes distinctive red rashes. It is also known as scarlet fever or scarlatine. Some of the synonyms for this infection are streptococcal pharyngitis, erysipelas, Streptococcus pyogenes infection, and scarlet fever syndrome. Scarlet fever syndrome is a more generic term that describes the clinical features of the infection, including the fever and rash. Erysipelas is a skin infection caused by a different bacterium that can also cause redness and swelling, much like scarlatina. Streptococcal pharyngitis refers to a sore throat caused by the same bacterium that causes scarlatina and is often a precursor to the infection.
