To determine if there was a true increase in the incidence of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) or just increasing recognition of an old problem, we reviewed 2,145 charts of patients between the ages of 10 and 30 years with discharge diagnoses compatible with signs and symptoms of TSS. No cases were identified in 1970 and 1975, but eight cases were found in 1979 and 1980. The data suggest that an increase of TSS in this age group occurred in the late 1970s.
为了确定中毒性休克综合征(TSS)的发病率是否真的有所上升,还是仅仅是对一个老问题的认识增加,我们回顾了2145例年龄在10至30岁之间、出院诊断与TSS的体征和症状相符的患者病历。1970年和1975年未发现病例,但在1979年和1980年发现了8例。数据表明,20世纪70年代末该年龄组的TSS发病率有所上升。
