In a prospective study the distribution of Toxic-1 (TSST-1) antibody titers was proved by 236 menstruating, tampon using volunteers. They are divided in 7 different age groups. Up to 11% of the volunteers under 25 years had no TSST-1 antibody-titers at all. Over 25 years of age this could be detected. In the group over 40 years of age 98% were found with antibody-titers up than 1:100. So it may be suggested that there is no general causal relationship between any type of tampon on TSS.
在一项前瞻性研究中,236名使用卫生棉条的经期志愿者检测了毒性休克综合征毒素-1(TSST-1)抗体滴度的分布情况。她们被分为7个不同的年龄组。25岁以下的志愿者中,高达11%的人根本没有TSST-1抗体滴度。25岁以上则可检测到。在40岁以上的组中,98%的人抗体滴度高于1:100。因此,可能表明任何类型的卫生棉条与中毒性休克综合征之间不存在普遍的因果关系。
