Abstract:
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is a Group A Streptococcus (GAS) induced invasive infectious disease, which is characterized by abrupt onset and rapid progression with a high mortality rate.With the wide application of antimicrobial agents, the incidence of GAS infections has been substantially reduced.Nevertheless, STSS usually causes shock and multiple organ failure at the early stage of its clinical process, and the clinical symptoms are non-specific.Therefore, early identification, timely anti-infection and symptomatic treatment are particularly critical.Clinicians should pay high attention to the disease.
