While toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is generally considered to be a tampon-related illness, an increasing number of reported cases have been related to surgical wounds. At least one case has been reported following nasal surgery with nasal packing. We report two additional cases of TSS associated with nasal packing. Because nasal packing is in some ways analogous to the use of tampons for menstrual hygiene, and nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is frequent, the scarcity of TSS cases reported to occur following nasal packing is surprising. Otorhinolaryngologists are urged to report TSS cases associated with nasal packing to their state and local health departments or the Centers for Disease Control to aid in the understanding of the pathogenesis of this disease.
虽然中毒性休克综合征（TSS）通常被认为是一种与使用卫生棉条相关的疾病，但报告的病例中越来越多与手术伤口有关。至少有一例报告是在鼻腔手术后使用鼻腔填塞物后发生的。我们报告另外两例与鼻腔填塞物相关的TSS病例。由于鼻腔填塞在某些方面类似于使用卫生棉条进行经期卫生护理，而且金黄色葡萄球菌在鼻腔的携带很常见，因此据报道鼻腔填塞后发生的TSS病例很少，这令人惊讶。敦促耳鼻喉科医生向其所在州和地方卫生部门或疾病控制中心报告与鼻腔填塞物相关的TSS病例，以帮助了解这种疾病的发病机制。
