9. What Is the Outlook for Gas Gangrene?
Gas gangrene is a very serious and quickly progressing condition that, if not treated right away, can become fatal. That said, if infected individuals receive treatment immediately after developing symptoms, medical teams may be able to prevent the worst possible outcomes.
Depending on a person’s overall health, the site of the infection and the severity of infection, complications may develop even with immediate medical attention. Complications include kidney failure, liver damage, jaundice, permanent tissue damage, coma, widespread infection, shock and death.
