Abstract

A three-year-old girl was admitted for persistent fever, erythermatous rash with subsequent desquamation, stomatitis, cheleitis and cervical lymphadenopathy following development of a buttock abscess secondary to an insect bite. A TSS-positive Staphylococcus aureus strain was isolated from the abscess. Both clinical and bacteriological features led to discuss a "toxic shock syndrome without shock", an atypical form of Kawasaki syndrome without thrombocytosis and coronary arteritis or a staphylococcal skin syndrome. An early treatment with antibiotics could have limited the toxin production explaining both symptomatology and favourable course of the disease.
