Streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome presenting with hypoglycemia and reversible paralysis

A patient with pharyngitis progressive to Toxic Shock-Like Syndrome presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of lower extremity paralysis. This paraplegia was completely reversed with the administration of intravenous glucose. Hypoglycemia-induced paraplegia has not previously been reported in the medical literature, and this report emphasizes the importance of considering low-blood glucose as a potential etiology for patients who present with these neurological symptoms.
