[Streptococcal Toxic Shock-like Syndrome associated with detectable autoantibodies].
We report on the severe course of a Streptococcal Toxic Shocklike Syndrome (STSLS). The initial diagnosis as well as the causal therapeutic approaches were complicated and prolongated definitely by the serological detection of auto-antibodies. Besides the presentation of clinical and paraclinical findings the report responds to relevant differential diagnoses and the corresponding strategies of therapeutic intervention.
