Different bacterial toxins may cause toxic shock syndrome. The causative bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus, where TSS is caused by enterotoxin type B or TSST-1, and Streptococcus pyogenes, where it is caused by streptococcal pyogenic exotoxins. Streptococcal TSS is sometimes referred to as toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS) or streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS).
Most people (about 70% â 80%) with an acute Hepatitis C infection do not experience any symptoms or show signs of the infection. If Hepatitis C symptoms do occur, they usually appear within two weeks to six months after being exposed to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). If you do develop symptoms related to Hepatitis C, theyâre generally mild and flu-like and may include: Feeling very tired.
Since most people with acute Hepatitis C go on to develop chronic Hepatitis C â meaning the virus has remained in your body for 6 months or longer â and still have no Hep C symptoms, itâs common to have the infection for 15 years or longer before being diagnosed.
