Toxic shock syndrome is a rare and potentially lethal postoperative complication. The recognition of this disorder can be delayed by the fact that the offending wounds in postoperative toxic shock syndrome are classically benign in appearance. The infrequency with which this syndrome is encountered can also prolong the interval between the onset of symptoms and institution of effective therapy. A case of toxic shock syndrome complicating an abdominoplasty performed at the Plastic Surgery Service of Walter Reed Army Medical Center is presented, and the literature available on toxic shock syndrome in the postoperative patient is discussed.
中毒性休克综合征是一种罕见且可能致命的术后并发症。术后中毒性休克综合征中致病伤口外观通常并无异常，这一事实可能导致对该病症的识别延迟。这种综合征的罕见性也会延长症状出现至开始有效治疗之间的间隔时间。本文介绍了一例在沃尔特·里德陆军医疗中心整形外科进行的腹部整形手术并发中毒性休克综合征的病例，并讨论了有关术后患者中毒性休克综合征的现有文献。
