Overview
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is known to be caused due to intoxication by one of the various exotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus, namely toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). It may also be caused by some strains of Group A streptococcal (GAS) infection. [1] There have been reports of TSS caused by Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium sordelli in women undergoing medical abortion, parturition and gynaecological procedures.[1][2][3][4][5]
Causes
Common causes:
1.Staphylococcus associated Toxic shock syndrome (TSS)
- Staphylococcus aureus, a gram positive coccus has been known to be a major cause of toxic shock syndrome via the production and intoxication by toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). [2]
2.Group A streptococcus associated Toxic shock syndrome (Toxic sock-like syndrome, TSLS)
- Streptococcal TSS occurs most frequently in the setting of invasive infection due to group A Streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes). [5]
- Toxic shock syndrome has been seen as a complication in patients suffering from streptococcal pharyngitis and necrotizing fasciitis.[6]
- There have been reports of TSS in patients taking NSAIDs during infection by GAS. The possible mechanism that has been proposed, is inhibition of neutrophil function and increased cytokine production. [7]
Less common causes:
1.Clostridium associated Toxic shock syndrome
- Clostridium sordellii is a part of the normal flora of the vagina and may gain entry into the uterus via the cervix during spontaneous or induced abortion, childbirth, or menstruation. C. sordellii is a cause of toxic shock syndrome associated with gynecologic procedures, parturition, and abortion (including spontaneous, surgical, and medical abortion).[8][9][10][11][12]
2.Viral infection[13]
