We report about a one year old girl with toxic shock syndrome (TSS), which was confirmed by a significant rise of TSST-1 titers. In addition to known manifestations of TSS, to our knowledge this is the first report about development of polyserositis in this disease. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was elevated at initial evaluation and fell under treatment with cortisone. This finding is in contrast to in-vitro observations. We believe that the use of cortisone in TSS warrants further investigation.
我们报告了一名患有中毒性休克综合征（TSS）的1岁女孩，TSST-1滴度显著升高证实了该诊断。除了TSS的已知表现外，据我们所知，这是关于该疾病发生多发性浆膜炎的首例报告。在初始评估时肿瘤坏死因子（TNF）升高，使用可的松治疗后下降。这一发现与体外观察结果相反。我们认为在TSS中使用可的松值得进一步研究。
