Gram-positive toxic shock syndromes.

The Lancet. Infectious diseases - 1 May 2009

Lappin Emma, Ferguson Andrew J

Abstract excerpt

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an acute, multi-system, toxin-mediated illness, often resulting in multi-organ failure. It represents the most fulminant expression of a spectrum of diseases caused by toxin-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus). The importance of Gram-positive organisms as pathogens is increasing, and TSS is likely to be underdiagnosed in...
