== Overview ==
Diagnosis of [[Toxic shock syndrome|Toxic Shock Syndrome]] (TSS) is mainly based on the clinical presentation including [[fever]] >38.9°C, [[hypotension]], diffuse [[erythroderma]], [[desquamation]].
==Diagnostic Criteria==
=== Toxic Shock Syndrome (Other Than Streptococcal) (TSS) ===
 
==== Clinical Criteria ====
The diagnosis of [[Staphylococcus|Staphylococcal]] [[toxic shock syndrome]] (TSS) is based upon clinical presentation. An epidemiological clinical criteria list has been established by United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ([[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]]) for [[Epidemiology|epidemiologic]] studies on [[Staphylococcus|Staphylococcal]] TSS. This criteria list is epidemiologicaly usable only, meaning that a patient can not be excluded from disease based on the absence of one of these criteria. This [[criteria]] list points that a confirmed case is someone who has [[fever]] >38.9°C, [[hypotension]], diffuse [[erythroderma]], [[desquamation]] (unless the patient dies before [[desquamation]] can occur), and involvement of at least three organ systems. If a patient misses one of these criteria, the case may be considered as a probable/susceptible case.<ref name="pmid7289007">{{cite journal |vauthors=Tofte RW, Williams DN |title=Toxic shock syndrome.

[[Toxic shock syndrome|TSS]] diagnosis can be made with the following clinical manifestations:
* [[Fever]]: [[Temperature]] greater than or equal to 102.0°F (greater than or equal to 38.9°C)
* [[Rash]]: Diffuse [[macular]] [[erythroderma]]
* [[Desquamation]]: 1-2 weeks after onset of rash
* [[Hypotension]]: [[Systolic blood pressure]] less than or equal to 90 mm Hg for adults or less than fifth percentile by age for children aged less than 16 years
* [[Multiorgan failure|Multiorgan involvement]] (three or more of the following organ systems):
** [[Gastrointestinal]]:
*** [[Vomiting]]
*** [[Diarrhea]] at onset of [[illness]] (especially watery)

Overview

Diagnosis of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is mainly based on the clinical presentation including fever >38.9°C, hypotension, diffuse erythroderma, desquamation.

Diagnostic Criteria

Toxic Shock Syndrome (Other Than Streptococcal) (TSS)

Clinical Criteria

The diagnosis of Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is based upon clinical presentation. An epidemiological clinical criteria list has been established by United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for epidemiologic studies on Staphylococcal TSS. This criteria list is epidemiologicaly usable only, meaning that a patient can not be excluded from disease based on the absence of one of these criteria. This criteria list points that a confirmed case is someone who has fever >38.9°C, hypotension, diffuse erythroderma, desquamation (unless the patient dies before desquamation can occur), and involvement of at least three organ systems. If a patient misses one of these criteria, the case may be considered as a probable/susceptible case.[1]

TSS diagnosis can be made with the following clinical manifestations:

Laboratory Criteria for Diagnosis

If the result of the following tests become negative, it can be considered a positive criteria for TSS:

Streptococcal TSS

There is a subtle difference between Streptococcal TSS and other types. Group A Streptococcus(GAS) can be isolated in GAS-related TSS patients.

Clinical and biochemical criteria of streptococcal TSS and necrotizing fasciitis (NF).[5]

Disease Presentation Criteria Definite case Suspected case
Streptococal TSS A. Isolation of group A Streptococcus 1. From a sterile site

2. From a nonsterile body site

A1 + B(complete) A2 + B(complete)
B. Clinical signs of severity
Necrotizing fasciitis A. Clinical Criteria A (complete) + B1 A (complete) + B2

A(complete) + B3

B. Isolation of group A Streptococcus
  1. Isolation of group A Streptococcus from a normally sterile body sites
  2. Serologic confirmation of group A streptococcal infection by a 4-fold rise against:
a) streptolysin O b) DNase B
3. Histologic confirmation: Gram-positive cocci in a necrotic soft tissue infection
