| syndrome, toxic shock | A grave condition occurring predominantly in menstruating women using tampons, toxic shock is characterised by a highly toxic state (with sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle aching) followed by low blood pressure (hypotension) which can lead to shock (and death). There may be a rash resembling sunburn with peeling of skin. The channing laboratory in boston under dr. Edw.
