Toxic shock syndrome?
DefinitionToxic shock syndrome is a severe disease that involves fever, shock, and problems with the function of several body organs.Alternative NamesStaphylococcal toxic shock syndromeCauses, incidence, and risk factorsToxic shock syndrome is caused by a toxin produced by certain types of Staphylococcus bacteria. A similar syndrome, called toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS), can be caused by Streptococcal bacteria.Although the earliest described cases of toxic shock syndrome involved women who were using tampons during their periods (menstruation), just slightly over half of current cases are associated with such events. Toxic shock syndrome can also occur in children, postmenopausal women, and men.Risk factors include:ChildbirthCurrent Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infectionForeign bodies or packings (such as those used to stop nosebleeds)MenstruationSurgeryTampon use (particularly if you leave on in for a long time)Use of barrier contraceptives such as a diaphragm or vaginal spongeSymptomsConfusionDiarrheaGeneral ill-feelingHeadachesHigh fever, sometimes accompanied by chillsLow blood pressureMuscle achesNausea and vomitingOrgan failure (usually kidneys and liver)Redness of eyes, mouth, throatSeizuresWidespread red rash that looks like a sunburn -- skin peeling occurs 1 or 2 weeks after the rash, particularly on the palms of the hand or bottom of the feetSigns and testsNo single test can diagnose toxic shock syndrome. The diagnosis is based on several criteria: fever, low blood pressure, a rash that peels after 1-2 weeks, and problems with the function of at least three organs. In some cases, blood cultures may be positive for growth of S. aureus.TreatmentAny foreign materials, such as tampons, vaginal sponges, or nasal packing, will be removed. Sites of infection (such as a surgical wound) will be drained.The goal of treatment is to maintain important body functions. This may include:Antibiotics for any infection (may be given through an IV)Dialysis (if severe kidney problems are present)Fluids through a vein (IV)Methods to control blood pressureExpectations (prognosis)Toxic shock syndrome may be deadly in up to 50% of cases. The condition may return in those that survive.ComplicationsSevere organ dysfunction Kidney failureHeart failureLiver failureShockCalling your health care providerToxic shock syndrome is a medical emergency. You must seek immediate attention if you develop fever or rash, particularly during menstruation and tampon use, or if you have had recent surgery.PreventionMenstrual toxic shock syndrome can be prevented by avoiding the use of highly absorbent tampons. You can reduce your risk by changing tampons more frequently and using tampons only once in a while (not regularly) during menstruation.ReferencesHans D, Kelly E, Wilhelmson K, Katz ED.
