Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an uncommon complication of infection caused by streptococci and staphylococci. It is associated with a high mortality rate. When evaluating patients with shock symptoms from skin or soft tissue sources, a high index of suspicion for TSS must be maintained. Prompt diagnosis and integrative management with surgical intervention, antibiotics, hemodynamic stabilization, and adjuvants like intravenous immunoglobulins improve survival.
中毒性休克综合征(TSS)是由链球菌和葡萄球菌引起的一种罕见的感染并发症。它与高死亡率相关。在评估有皮肤或软组织来源休克症状的患者时,必须高度怀疑TSS。及时诊断并通过手术干预、抗生素、血流动力学稳定以及静脉注射免疫球蛋白等辅助药物进行综合管理可提高生存率。
