[Toxic shock syndrome after Cesarean section].
A case of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) after caesarean section is reported. Strains Staphylococcus aureus (phage type 80/42E/81/83A--mixed type) producing toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 in very great grantities amounts were isolated from the surgical wound. The diagnosis is often difficult in non-menstrual cases in which TSS is not expected.
