Abstract
Cases of suspect toxic shock syndrome reported to a state health department were studied. Retrospective examination of 53 definite and 29 probable cases of menstrually-related TSS revealed no significant differences in mean age, proportion with vaginal or cervical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, proportion using tampons, proportion hospitalized and mortality.
