FCEM2-1456

A 7-year-old girl is brought in to Resus by an ambulance with sirens blaring. She has been complaining of a severe headache all morning and developed a high fever and a rash of small red spots. She is now barely responsive, and the medical team decides to intubate her due to her decreased level of consciousness. Urgent action is necessary, and no one in the Emergency Department has had time to put on personal protective equipment. A diagnosis of meningococcal sepsis is later confirmed.

Who will require post-exposure prophylaxis?
