Abstract

Background. The clinical appearance of the toxic shock syndrome (TSS) shows several parallels to the Kawasaki syndrome. The treatment of choice in Kawasaki's disease is high dose application of immunglobulins whereas a standardised treatment of TSS has not yet been defined.

Case report. We report of a 14 year old girl with severe TSS which did not occur during menstruation. Treatment with high dose immunglobulins (2 g/kg KG) and antibiotics resulted in prompt recovery.

Keywords: Keywords Toxic shock syndrome, Treatment, High dose immunglobulins
