Overview
Gas gangrene can be prevented by always monitoring the blood glucose levels and maintaining them within the normal range, and regular foot inspection, most especially in those patients with diabetes. Post-exposure prophylaxis may be needed by immunocompromised individuals if they were in close contact with patients with necrotizing infection due to Group A streptococcus. [1] Droplet and contact precautions are warranted to these susceptible individuals. [2]
