Give an example on toxic shock syndrome.

A 32 years old female is a surgeon and has long time of work in the operating room. After a break she had to return to the operating room. She started to had a headache and fainted. She had a hypotension with tachycardia. Rashes started to appear on her skin and the patient started to have signs of a shock. Its like a septic shock but here there is no bacteria that is multiplying and causing the septic shock. Because the female surgeon was putting tampons and not changed on time there was growth of staph aureus and it started to secrete TSST1 in the vaginal area. The toxin in the genital area passed to the blood (bacteria are still on the tampon/pad, it is the toxin that spread). This is toxemia (not bacteremia)
