English Abstract
Journal Article
[Toxic shock syndrome consecutive to the presence of vaginal tampon for menstruation regressive after early haemodynamic optimization and activated protein C infusion].
Annales Françaises D'anesthèsie et de Rèanimation 2009 January
A 19-year-old woman was admitted in the intensive care unit for a septic shock recognized as a menstrual toxic shock syndrome with a Staphylococcus aureus. An early goal oriented therapy was started in order to correct in particular the venous central O(2) saturation (ScvO(2)) associated to an early empiric anti-infectious treatment. A multi-organ failure appeared in a second time, so that we began a protein C activated infusion. The outcome was also auspicious. Bacteriologic samples and specific samples for the research of Staphylococci toxins confirmed the diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome with Staphylococcus aureus. A genotypic study allowed us to identify many anomalies which could be involved in the incompletely understood physiopathology of this disease.
