We report a case of nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome. A 21-year-old man presented with severe pain in the right hand after an altercation in which he sustained a bite from a person. Physical examination revealed a small abscess on the right proximal interphalangeal joint with edema in the fourth and fifth digits and tenderness of the flexor sheath. The patient was hypotensive with diffuse macular erythematous skin. He responded to surgical drainage and antibiotics. |
