11,119 patients with scarlet fever admitted in the last sixteen years, from 1973 to 1988, to Sapporo City General Hospital, were studied statistically on symptoms and laboratory findings. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Annual number of patients have reduced suddenly since 1981, and become zero in 1989. The patients increased in number during the winter season. Eighty two percent of the cases were between 3 and 8 years of age, and the average age was 5.8 year-old. 2. Cases of above-38 degrees C temperature were seen in about 81.4%, and from 2 to 5 days-duration of temperature were seen in 86.6% of the patients in the year 1976. Cases of above-moderate rash were observed in 68.2%, sever redness of throat in 29.9%, strawberry tongue in 86.3% and angular stomatitis in 37.7% of the patients. In recent statistical analysis (1982-1988), we found, however, a tendency that patients having stronger symptoms were being introduced to our hospital. 3. The higher rates of cases showing elevated ASD titer were seen in the elder patients and in the winter. C-reactive protein (CRP) titers were mostly in the range of (-) to (greater than or equal to 6+), having 2.4 + on an average. 4. Patients who developed into overt nephritis were not seen. Cases of microscopic hematuria (greater than or equal to 3 red cells/f in urine sediments), however, were observed in 1.1% (125/11,119). Sever complications were hardly seen. 5. Reappearance of beta-hemolytic streptococci (on a week after discharge) were found in 3.1% (241/7,877). 6. Reinfection or relapse cases of scarlet fever were found in 6.7% (642/9,585).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A series of 30 cases of Kawasaki disease has been studied retrospectively over a period of 11 years. The aim was to reassess the diagnostic value of the dermatological manifestations. A modification of the extremities was observed in 28 patients (23 had early inflammatory lesions, 25 had late desquamation). Exanthema was constant, polymorphous and most often urticaria-like. Vesicles, pustules or purpura were noted during the course of the eruption in 7 patients. A perineal eruption was observed in 17 cases and was found of good diagnostic value even though not pathognomonic. Cheilitis was the most frequent of buccopharyngeal modifications (93 p. 100). Conjunctival hyperemia was noted in 26 patients. Eight children had cardiovascular complications. Among these cases, the modification of the extremities seemed to be more pronounced and stomatitis and arthritis were apparently more frequent. Most of all, the inflammatory syndrome was significantly more severe as concerns CRP and polymorphonuclear leukocytes counts. Dermatological examination often rules out other diagnoses, such as measles, scarlet fever and staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome. However, a complete etiological workup remains mandatory.
