Hello. Thank you for posting.

If scarlet fever was appropriately treated with antibiotics and a person has not experienced complications from this condition, the Red Cross does not specifically list Scarlet Fever as a reason they would refuse blood donation.

You can read more about eligibility requirements for donating blood, including a list of medical conditions and treatments, at http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/eligibility-requirements
