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
Several antibiotic regimens have been successful in eradicating group A streptococcus from the pharynx of chronic carriers (i.e., rifampin plus intramuscular benzathine penicillin or a 10-day course of a second-generation cephalosporin or clindamycin). However, there are limited data concerning chemoprophylaxis for severe invasive group A streptococcal or staphylococcal infections.[1][2]
