    Author: Siermann A, Storm W.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1991 Apr; 139(4):231-4. PubMed ID: 2072965.
    Abstract:
    Toxic shock syndrome, caused by an exotoxin of staphylococcus aureus is very rare in children. On admission, beside the shock, abdominal problems as vomiting, diarrhoea and a developing adynamic ileus were outstanding in our patient. Not before additional symptoms as staphylococcal pneumonia with bacteriemia occurred and later desquamation of palms and feet, diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome could be confirmed.
