Hi has anyone had any dealings with scarlet fever. Just heard lo who went to walk in centre after leaving this afternoon has been diagnosed with it. She has to be excluded for first 24 hrs of antibiotics, 10 day course!!! But mum excluding till next week. Have had another lo here 22 months who has had spots in a cluster on her face since last Monday , thought a be impetigo still not been checked out. But now wondering if she has scarlet fever too!! Was wondering as it's a notifiable illness do I have to contact hpa or will doctor do that. Also does it spread into a outbreak?? Have text all parents who are not here rest of week and have printed off info for all parents. Apart from disinfecting is there anything else I need to do! In 12 Years of childminding and 20 years of being a mum thus is the first time I've come across this!!
