Excerpt

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a fulminant Gram positive infection, typically due to Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, though small series have described similar syndromes in closely related pathogens, including group B, C, and G streptococci. The annual incidence of staphylococcal TSS (SaTSS) is about 0.5/100,000 and about 0.4/100,000 for streptococcal TSS (SeTSS), though local rates may vary [1, 2]. Mortality rates are below 5 % for menstrual SaTSS, 5–22 % for non-menstrual SaTSS, and 30–70 % for SeTSS [25]. …
