An 8-month-old infant presented with pneumonia and pleural effusion associated with clinical manifestation of toxic shock syndrome. A Staphylococcus aureus strain isolated from the pleural fluid produced enterotoxin C, but not toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 or other enterotoxins. Acute and convalescent sera showed an antibody rise to enterotoxin C but not to toxic shock syndrome toxin-1. These findings support the possibility that enterotoxin C was the primary toxin associated with this infant's illness.
一名8个月大的婴儿出现肺炎和胸腔积液,并伴有中毒性休克综合征的临床表现。从胸腔积液中分离出的一株金黄色葡萄球菌产生肠毒素C,但不产生中毒性休克综合征毒素-1或其他肠毒素。急性期和恢复期血清显示针对肠毒素C的抗体升高,但针对中毒性休克综合征毒素-1的抗体未升高。这些发现支持肠毒素C是与该婴儿疾病相关的主要毒素的可能性。
