Toxin shock syndrome

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious condition caused by bacterial toxins, typically from Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus bacteria. These toxins can trigger a widespread immune response, leading to high fever, low blood pressure, rash, and organ dysfunction. TSS often occurs after infections or the use of tampons, wounds, or surgical sites. Prompt treatment with antibiotics and supportive care is essential to prevent severe complications. While rare, awareness and early intervention are key to managing the condition effectively.
