Ailments Compared Difference Fever Petite Scarlet Small Pox Spot Volante Measles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print from Mary Evans Picture Library showcases three young boys with different infectious diseases - measles, scarlet fever, and smallpox. The left boy is suffering from measles (rougeole), the middle one has scarlet fever (scarlatine), and the right boy is afflicted with smallpox (petite verole volante). Can you spot the difference between these ailments? In this circa 1880 image, we are given a glimpse into the medical history of these contagious diseases that plagued communities in the past. Each boy's appearance tells a unique story of their illness - from the characteristic rash of measles to the red skin and sore throat of scarlet fever to the pustules associated with smallpox. As we reflect on this snapshot from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of understanding and treating such illnesses. It also highlights the importance of vaccination in preventing these once-deadly diseases. Next time you feel unwell or notice symptoms similar to those depicted in this photo print, remember how fortunate we are to have advanced medical knowledge and technology at our disposal today. Let us continue to prioritize public health initiatives to protect ourselves and future generations from such devastating outbreaks.
