A 9-year-old girl presented with arthralgia and myalgia which progressed to developing renal failure and overwhelming septic shock. The underlying cause was assumed to be a periodontal abscess from an upper right deciduous canine tooth. The pus from the abscess grew a toxic shock syndrome toxin 1-producing Staphylococcus aureus. This case illustrates the importance of an oral surgical review of patients presenting with features of toxic shock syndrome if the source of the infection is not immediately obvious.
一名9岁女孩出现关节痛和肌痛，随后发展为肾衰竭和严重感染性休克。潜在病因被认为是右上乳尖牙的牙周脓肿。脓肿脓液培养出一株产生中毒性休克综合征毒素1的金黄色葡萄球菌。该病例表明，如果感染源不立即明确，对出现中毒性休克综合征特征的患者进行口腔外科检查的重要性。
