Overview:
Different imaging methods can be used during toxic shock syndrome (TSS) evaluation which are more useful to assess the disease complications. CXR can be used to diagnose early pulmonary complications.
CXR
During TSS pulmonary edema and pleural effusion can happen. These can be diagnosed in CXR as diffuse bilateral interstitial and alveolar infiltrates.[1]
