Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1996
Because of the frequency with which Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes infections occur, physicians are quite familiar with the diversity of their clinical presentations. In the 1970s, however, shock associated with multiorgan failure was described in menstruating female patients as well as in male patients following a variety of surgical

On the Pathogenesis of Toxic Shock Syndrome
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1987Understanding of the pathogenesis of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) has come from the juxtaposition of epidemiologic, clinical, immunologic, and physiologic studies. A hypothesis has been developed for the pathogenesis of menstrually related TSS. Certain tampon fibers that are highly absorbent for water are also ion exchangers for magnesium ions.
