A patient is described who postoperatively developed a clinical syndrome characteristic of toxic shock syndrome following amputation of a previously injured finger. A small stitch abscess was identified which grew Staphylococcus aureus. The patient became ill within 12 hours of surgery, suggesting that a small inoculum of a toxic shock-producing strain of S. aureus can produce the clinical syndrome.
本文描述了一名患者，该患者在先前受伤手指截肢术后出现了中毒性休克综合征的临床特征。发现一个小的缝线脓肿，从中培养出金黄色葡萄球菌。患者在手术后12小时内发病，这表明少量产中毒性休克的金黄色葡萄球菌接种物即可引发该临床综合征。
