Abstract:

Using several successive and adaptive search strategies, the research for this paper was restricted to childhood diseases of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and then further to scarlet fever during this period. The 40 sources used include 30 articles and ten books from the years 1887 to 1957. Based on the selected sources, a qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed and the results are presented. They are related to nine questions, which, among other things, take into account the publication frequency of this epoch, its change over time, treated body regions and underlying, osteopathy-specific etiologies and concepts. A further aspect of the paper focuses on the frequency and duration of the treatments use to treat scarlet fever, accompanying measures and the reported effects. A number of endogenous and exogenous influences on organs and tissues are named in the presented osteopathic findings. Osteopathic concepts also include general, nonspecific regional and local treatment approaches. Specific osteopathic etiological factors can be understood as predisposing factors, and present starting points for a multirelational and context-dependent understanding of illness and healing. Additional measures to osteopathic manual treatment are similar to the pre-antibiotic mainstream medical approach to scarlet fever.
