A recent case review showed that nurses play an important role in diagnosing toxic shock syndrome (TSS). It is a rare, and potentially fatal condition, which may develop in individuals of all ages. The average A&E nurse will probably only encounter a single case. However, front-line nurses will usually be the first to meet the patient with this condition. Some knowledge of TSS is important because early diagnosis and treatment may save lives.
最近的一项病例回顾显示，护士在诊断中毒性休克综合征（TSS）中发挥着重要作用。这是一种罕见且可能致命的病症，可发生于所有年龄段的人群。普通的急诊科护士可能只会遇到一例这种病例。然而，一线护士通常会是首个接触到患有该病症患者的人。了解一些关于TSS的知识很重要，因为早期诊断和治疗可能挽救生命。
