title: [Pulmonary manifestations in a case of toxic shock syndrome].
abstract: The evolution of a toxic shock syndrome in a young adult has yielded particular pleural and lung lesions concomittantly with phenomena of insufficiency of other organs and systems (kidney, digestive, CNS a.o.). X-ray aspect of bilateral bronchopneumonia with small diffuse infiltrates are noted, together with an aspect of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax, which appeared successively with a tendency to relapse. Hemodynamic alterings during the acute phase of the syndrome initiated by staphylococcal exotoxin are similar to those during the initial phase of the septic shock, requiring a careful monitoring during the treatment.
