[The Freiburg Scarlet Fever Scheme, a guide for clinical practice in frequent occurrence of Streptococcus-A infections in schools and other community facilities according to paragraphs 44-48 of the Federal Infection Legislation].

In the past years, the endemic occurrence of A-streptococcal infections in communal institutions for children and other reasons called for an increased number of activities to combat such diseases. In view of the multitude of different epidemiological situations, differentiated suggestions favouring a holistic strategy to combat such infections were elaborated, e.g. with regard to therapy, prophylaxis and the practice of readmission to community institutions. The methods of application have still to be improved upon.
