risk factors of scalded skin syndrome
risk factors:
secondary infection
fluid loss can cause death
scalded skin syndrome prevention methods
isolate infected patients to prevent spread and secondary infections
symptoms:
fever –> rash –> low blood pressure –> organ failure –> death by cytokine storm
TSS symptoms
epidemiology:
women
menstruating
tampons
epidemiology of TSS
timeline of TSS
1980s: remove “rely”
1982: tampon labeling required
1985: remove poly-acrylate
why was removing poly-acrylate from tampons important?
decreased Mg++ = increased toxin production
prevention: keep food cold
food borne intoxication prevention
treatment: most cases resolve without treatment. good hydration helps
food borne intoxication treatment
