What is Toxic Shock Syndrome? (Tampons Disease)

The video discusses a case of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a life-threatening condition characterized by high fever, low blood pressure, and a sunburn-like rash. The immune system's response to superantigens, particularly from Staphylococcus aureus, leads to a cytokine storm causing multisystem inflammation. The video explains the diagnosis, which is mainly clinical, and the treatment involving ICU care, antibiotics, and supportive therapies. The patient in the case study recovers well after a week in the ICU.
