Free Abstract

Brewer JD et al. - Patient admitted to the intensive care department with an exfoliative generalized erythroderma, signs of shock, and biopsy specimen findings consistent with SSSS presented after a tooth extraction. Subsequent test results were positive for exfoliative toxin B and TSS toxin-1, suggesting concurrent SSSS and TSS. For patients with acute, exfoliative, generalized erythroderma, TSS and SSSS should be considered. Although rare, it is possible to see both syndromes present concurrently.
