Peritonitis Of Unknown Origin In a Patient With Refractory Shock

Abstract

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is an uncommon acute systemic disease, in which toxins that cause high morbidity and mortality are produced [1]. An early diagnosis, a rapid surgical debridement of the areas affected and appropriate antibiotics are the only ways to reduce the elevated mortality of this clinical condition [2]. Using this case, it is intended to stress the extreme gravity and importance of an early intervention of the disease, by attempting to limit the sequelae that could occur and thus being able to give a better quality of life to the patients that survive [2].
