ABSTRACT
Toxic chock syndrome is an acute febrile illness involving multiple organ systems. It was first described and associated with staphylococcus aureus since 1978. The clinical features are typically abrupt onset, fever [39°C or greater], diffuse erythematous macula rash, shock and multiple organ dysfunction. We report a case of women; the usual clinical characteristics were found. T.S.S. has been associated with many infection by staphylococcus [vaginal, cutanuous and post-operative]. The syndrome is caused by the production, absorption and action of exotoxines. The treatment must correct organ dysfunction; antimicrobial therapy should be instituted. The mortality of the syndrom is less than 8%; the recurrence illness is possible but is very rare
