Summary

Toxic shock Syndrome is a deadly infectious disease caused by two types of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome) and Streptococcus pyogenes (streptococcal toxic shock syndrome). Symptoms for each syndrome include fever, body aches, low blood pressure, vomiting or diarrhea, rash, and skin infection. The disease generally causes hospitalization and death if left untreated. Toxic Shock Syndrome, Second Edition investigates the causes, symptoms, and treatment of this disease, as well as its history and recent medical research.
