Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS) is a severe illness associated with invasive or non-invasive group A streptococcal (Streptococcus pyogenes) infection. STSS may occur with infection at any site, but most often occurs in association with infection of a cutaneous lesion.
Toxic shock syndrome was originally noted in children infected with Staphylococcus aureus (a common bacterium), usually referred to as staph. Today it most often occurs among women who use tampons, and is a secondary effect of a large number of other infections. Another bacterium, Streptococcus (strep), can also cause toxic shock syndrome. This condition can interfere with the functioning of several different organ systems in the body, including the heart, kidneys, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system.
