Overview:

Secondary prevention strategies following toxic shock syndrome (TSS) include chemoprophylaxis for invasive group A streptococcus or staphylococcus carriers. Although it is still not certain to be helpful.

Secondary Prevention

One of the major complications of toxic shock syndrome is that it increase the risk of disease re-currence. This condition can be controlled by chemoprophylaxis of patients with a past medical history of TSS. However, there is limited data concerning chemoprophylaxis for severe invasive group A streptococcal or staphylococcal infections.[1][2]

  • Also researchers advice not to continue tampon usage after a TSS, to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
