Scarlet Fever And Fertility
Posted: 02-05-04 23:33pm
I read in a book recently (fiction) that a boy had come down with scarlet fever when he was young. When he became an adult, he was told by a doctor that he was sterile, due to him having scarlet fever?

Is there a grain of truth in this?

Can a woman be similarly affected?

Crying or Very sad

I honestly do not know, but will look into it. I hope not, I had scarlet fever last year!
