A case of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) in a 6-year-old boy with a 5 per cent body surface area partial thickness scald burn is reported. Biobrane was the wound dressing used initially. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of the syndrome are listed. The syndrome is caused by an exotoxin of Staph. aureus and can occur in the absence of invasive infection. The syndrome, first described in menstruating women who used tampons, has occurred in patients with a variety of wounds. Reports of the TSS syndrome in burn victims are limited to children whose wounds were covered. Children are most vulnerable to the development of TSS because of their limited prior exposure to the toxin.
报告了一例6岁男孩发生中毒性休克综合征（TSS）的病例，该男孩有5%体表面积的浅度烫伤。最初使用生物敷料覆盖伤口。文中列出了该综合征的临床和实验室特征。该综合征由金黄色葡萄球菌的一种外毒素引起，可在无侵袭性感染的情况下发生。该综合征最初在使用卫生棉条的经期女性中被描述，现在已在各种伤口患者中出现。烧伤患者中TSS综合征的报告仅限于伤口被覆盖的儿童。由于儿童以前接触该毒素的机会有限，他们最易发生TSS。
