What's the diagnosis? What's the treatment?
اُحضِرَت فتاة إلى طبيبها وهي تعاني من طفح خشن المظهر على جذعها ورقبتها وقد انتشر إلى ذراعيها.
وبالفحص السريري تبين أن إبطها هو أكثر مكان متأثر بالإصابة ولكن راحتي يديها وأخمصي قدميها غير مصابة.
والداها قالا أنها كانت تعاني من حمى والتهاب بلعوم.
الفحوص المخبرية أظهرت أن مصلها إيجابي مضاد الستريبتوليزين O.

the fact that Group A streptococci produce the enzyme streptolysin O, and reading the symptoms;
i think she has Scarlet Fever that caused by the Group A streptococcal bacteria (S. pyogenes).
and the treatment is oral or injected penicillin
