title: [The toxic shock syndrome in male patients].
abstract: The toxic shock syndrome was observed in two young men (16 and 22 years). In one it occurred after a purulent scraping wound of the skin, in the other two days after an operation with seemingly normal wound conditions. All findings returned to normal in both patients after about five weeks. The syndrome of toxic shock can occur, regardless of age and sex, in Staphylococcus aureus infections of various kinds.
