Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is one of the most devastating clinical manifestations ofStreptococcus pyogenes(also known as Group A Streptococci or GAS), characterized by an overwhelming production of toxins. The incidence of TSS is increasing worldwide, and the mortality rate remains unacceptably high....
Eight percent of necrotizing soft tissue infections is attributable to Streptococcal infection and among these, 50% develop streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. The mortality rate for streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is approximately 32% (Lanitis et al 2012). Sepsis is now the leading direct cause ...
Abstract Streptococcus pyogenes(group AStreptococcus; GAS) is a widespread human pathogen and causes streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). STSS isolates have been previously shown to have high frequency mutations in thecsrS/csrR(covS/covR) and/orrgg(ropB) genes, which are negative regulators...

We describe a patient with Streptococcus pneumoniae sinusitis associated with a severe sepsis syndrome and desquamative rash whose clinical illness strongly resembled toxic-shock syndrome. Assay of convalescent serum for antibodies to toxic-shock syndrome toxin 1 was negative. This case suggests the ...
Yet in the late 1980's, a severe form of streptococcal infection, the Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome, emerged and has persisted for the last 10 years. This syndrome is associated with invasive soft tissue infections and the early onset of shock and organ failure. The purpose of this paper...
Here we report a case of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome(STSS) caused by S. suis in a 59-year-old man. Despite of intensive treatment, the patient died of shock with multiple organ failure 14 h after admission. One bacterial isolate obtained from blood culture was identified to the ...
Ming Li1, Xiancai Rao1, Xinyue Yao1, Qiu Zhong1, Min Wang1, Jing Wang1, Yizhi Peng2, Jiaqi Tang3, Fuquan Hu1 &Yan Zhao1 Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that triggered two outbreaks of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) in ...
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is a severe invasive infec- tion characterized by the sudden onset of shock, multi-organ failure, and high mortality [8,9], and is caused by group A Strepto- coccus (Streptococcus pyogenes). GBS causes invasive streptococcal infections, including streptococcal tox...
(acute glomerulonephritis) is another complication of streptococcal infections. Some extremely serious Group A streptococcal infections began to emerge or reemerge in the late 1980s. Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is a rapidly progressing infection, similar tosepticemiaortoxic shock syndrome, that ...
