Syndrome de choc toxique staphylococcique chez un hémodialysé chronique

Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome is an acute and systemic infectious syndrome associated with the super-antigenic activity of staphylococcal toxins. It is a pathology that is rather rare but remains burdened with a considerable mortality despite the therapeutic management. The gateway is usually cutaneous with secondary bacteremic spread could be subject to preventive measures. We report the case of a rapidly fatal staphylococcal toxic shock, developed in a chronic hemodialysis whose entry from the arteriovenous fistula was suspected.
