Abstract:
Herein is the first reported case of bartholinitis complicated by toxic shock-like syndrome. Streptococcal exotoxin is implicated in this case of nonmenstrual toxic shock-like syndrome, which is an increasingly recognized manifestation of streptococcal infection. Further surveillance, investigation, and reporting of streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome are recommended.
