Toxic Shock Syndrome - Topic Overview An infection caused by strep or staph bacteria can lead to toxic shock syndrome. These bacteria are common and usually don't cause problems. But in rare cases, the toxins enter the bloodstream and cause a severe immune reaction. This reaction causes the symptoms of TSS. Toxic shock syndrome caused by strep most often occurs after childbirth, the flu (influenza), chickenpox, surgery, minor skin cuts or wounds, or injuries that cause bruising but may not break the skin.

What Are the Aftereffects of Toxic Shock? Toxic shock syndrome was originally noted in children infected with Staphylococcus aureus (a common bacterium), usually referred to as staph. Today it most often occurs among women who use tampons, and is a secondary effect of a large number of other infections. Another bacterium, Streptococcus (strep), can also cause toxic shock syndrome. This condition can interfere with the functioning of several different organ systems in the body, including the heart, kidneys, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system.
