Etiology and Clinic of Scarlatina. Deicher (Klin. Woch., 1927, No. 50)
According to Deicher's view, scarlatina is caused by the hemolytic streptococcus, due to the absorption of the toxin it produces. In uncomplicated cases, the pathogen does not leave the surface or surface layers of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Perhaps only when infected does it enter the blood, but it quickly disappears from there and only rarely can be found there in the acute stage of the disease. It is probably these streptococci entering the blood which are responsible for the later complications of the disease, as nephritis, glandular disease, etc. The antitoxic anti-scarlatino serum is, in the opinion of the author, a reliable remedy which should be used in all cases of moderate disease.
