Homeopathic Materia Medica

A Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica, John Henry Clarke

The nosode of Scarlatina or Scarlet Fever.

Clinical.─Albuminuria. Nephritis. Scarlet fever. Skin affections. Throat, sore.

Characteristics.─Scarlatinin has been used, like other nosodes, for the prevention and for cure of the disease from which it takes origin. But its well-known affinity for the skin, throat and kidneys suggests its applicability for affections of those organs.

Relations.─Bell. is the nearest analogue and should be its antidote, and the various Mercuries come next. Compare also: Apis, Arsen., Rhus, Morbillin, Diphtherinum.
