Staphylococcal enterotoxin B toxic shock syndrome induced by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA).
We herein report a case of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) associated with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza virus and a community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infection in a 16-year-old Vietnamese girl. Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) was detected in the patient's serum, and the level of anti-SEB antibodies was found to be elevated. A flow cytometric anal...
متن کاملStaphylococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome Caused by Tampon Use
The authors report a case of near-fatal sepsis with multiorgan failure resulting from a Staphylococcal tampon-associated toxic shock syndrome, requiring a lengthy critical care admission. Successful treatment of this condition focuses on early identification, source control, and administration of antimicrobial agents. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy used early may prevent widespread tissue n...
متن کاملToxic shock-like syndrome caused by T serotype B3264 streptococcus.
A 45-year-old woman was transferred from a local hospital to our hospital because of shock-like manifestations in addition to septic polyarthritis and necrotizing cellulitis of the left leg. Since Streptococcus pyogenes was isolated from the blood culture examined one day before admission, the diagnosis of streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS) was made. Antibiotic treatment together wi...
متن کاملSynthetic human monoclonal antibodies toward staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) protective against toxic shock syndrome.
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a potent toxin that can cause toxic shock syndrome and act as a lethal and incapacitating agent when used as a bioweapon. There are currently no vaccines or immunotherapeutics available against this toxin. Using phage display technology, human antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) were selected against SEB, and proteins were produced in Escherichia coli cells an...
متن کاملInhibition of Toxic Shock by Human Monoclonal Antibodies against Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is implicated in many opportunistic bacterial infections around the world. Rising antibiotic resistance and few alternative methods of treatment are just two looming problems associated with clinical management of S. aureus. Among numerous virulence factors produced by S. aureus, staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) B is a secreted protein that binds T-cell receptor ...
