The health department announced today that the boy who died last Tuesday from scarlet fever did not have the mutated strain, but the conventional strain. However, they added:
"...the boy who died was already suffering from chicken pox. In addition to his immunity being compromised, these chicken pox blisters provided a multiple entry points for the scarlet fever bacteria, thereby worsening his situation."
