Overview
Toxic shock syndrome may be classified based on the microbiological organisms involved in causing the disease. Commonly involved organisms are Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS); less commonly involved organisms leading to the development of toxic shock syndrome are Clostridium sordelli, Influenza virus and Varicella Zoster virus (the etiological agent of chickenpox).[1][2][3][4][5][6]
