Evaluation of patients with toxic shock syndrome (TSS) in a paediatric hospital.
Retrospective analysis.
Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, University Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Analysis of the medical records on 155 patients admitted between January 1982 and January 1992 suffering from shock, 8 of whom had TSS.
Five out of 8 TSS patients were under 5 years of age. All the patients needed mechanical ventilation. All patients survived. In 7 patients a probably causative focus of infection was found. The cultures of 6 patients showed growth of Staphylococcus aureus, those of 2 patients showed Lancefield group A beta-haemolytic streptococci (bacterial culture in one, increased antibody titer in the other). Systematic phage typing was not performed.
Although TSS is a relatively rare disease in young children, it is a potentially lethal one, early recognition of which is very important.
对一家儿科医院的中毒性休克综合征（TSS）患者进行评估。
回顾性分析。
荷兰鹿特丹大学医院儿科重症监护病房。
分析1982年1月至1992年1月期间收治的155例休克患者的病历，其中8例患有TSS。
8例TSS患者中有5例年龄在5岁以下。所有患者均需要机械通气。所有患者均存活。7例患者发现了可能的感染源。6例患者的培养物显示金黄色葡萄球菌生长，2例患者的培养物显示A群β溶血性链球菌（1例为细菌培养，另1例为抗体滴度升高）。未进行系统的噬菌体分型。
尽管TSS在幼儿中是一种相对罕见的疾病，但它是一种潜在致命的疾病，早期识别非常重要。
