Abstract
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening infection mediated by either Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. I this case report, a 36-year-old woman had rapidly developing TSS from S. pyogenes in a supposed oral focus. The disease should be suspected in patients with septic shock with unknown aetiology as it is highly aggressive and has a high mortality and morbidity.
