[Toxic shock syndrome in pyogenic arthritis].
Two cases are reported of toxic shock syndrome in patients with pyogenic arthritis due to Staph. aureus with proven production of enterotoxin F and pyogenic exotoxin C. An ischemic complication of both lower extremities in one of the patients may be related to the use of a heparin-dihydroergotamine combination for postoperative prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis.
