During hospitalization, his condition began to deteriorate with signs and symptoms of multisystemic failure. Laboratory tests and radiological images were done, leading to the decision to reopen and drain the surgical wound. Wound and nasal swabs were cultured and showed\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">S. aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                      infection, and the diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome was confirmed.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TSS is a systemic illness resulting from overwhelming host response to bacterial exotoxins, that cause T cells activation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1 and TNF-\u03b1 causing fever, hypotension, and tissue injury). Also, it can present with CNS signs that may be misdiagnosed with meningitis in pediatrics.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>It requires early identification and treatment despite its rarity with mortality rate of 81% even with treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>The patient's presentation, examination and laboratories tests with the blood and wound cultures were highly suggestive for this condition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for TSS, as early diagnosis and treatment make a difference.
