Answer

Although there are no entire books on the shelf about scarlet fever, there seems to be plenty of material to sift through using our databases.

To access articles in our databases, please consult the "Medical and Health Sciences Research Guide" (link belwo). This guide will provide a listing of databases that will search health related resources to find you information.

I tried Health and Wellness Resource Center and input "scarlet fever" in the search box. You may want to add terms such as, "and vaccine", or "and treatments" to narrow down your focus. The results from my search were from fact sheets, magazines and journals, and newspapers.

The website PubMed Central provided results for scarlet fever, and also by the medical term "streptococcus pyogenes".

Lastly, you may want to try the Journal of American Medical Association (link below). Again, use your search term and narrow down your search with "treatments", "symproms" or "vaccines".
