Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1990
Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) is an important factor of pathogenicity, but further unknown toxins may exist because some strains isolated from such cases dit not produce TSST-1. The mechanism of action of TSST-1 is not fully understood but induction of mediators like TNF and IL-1 seems to play an important role.

Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome in children

Intensive Care Medicine, 1992
Two children with toxic shock-like syndrome due to streptococcal infection are reported. In both cases (one fatal) the site of infection was in the soft tissues. Both strains of group A hemolytic streptococci isolated from blood culture produced large amounts of erythrogenic toxin B (ET B) small amounts of ET C but no ET A.

Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome After Breast Reconstruction

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2005
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is an increasingly common disease entity but has rarely been described in the plastic surgery literature. We present the first known case of STSS associated with a reconstructive procedure. Two weeks postoperatively from a transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap for breast reconstruction, our patient ...

Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS)

1997
During the last 10 years there has been an increasing interest in the streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) due to its often very dramatic clinical course and the high mortality despite adequate antibiotic therapy. The deeper knowledge acquired recently on the intricate interplay between the virulence factors of the streptococci and the host may ...
