All GAS infections may be treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin, or erythromycin if the patient is allergic to penicillin. Early treatment improves the prognosis of invasive disease. In cases of necrotising fasciitis, surgical removal (debridement) of affected tissue is essential in addition to rapid treatment with intravenous antibiotics to prevent further spread.
