01 / WHAT MATTERS ON THE EXAM

Scarlet fever: sandpaper rash with Pastia lines and strawberry tongue after strep pharyngitis — penicillin or amoxicillin to prevent rheumatic fever.

02 / WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Diffuse erythematous sandpaper-like eruption with accentuation in skin folds

03 / WATCH OUT FOR

A sandpaper rash alone does not confirm streptococcal infection; in symptomatic children, a negative rapid antigen test generally needs a backup throat culture.
