	Toxic Shock Syndrome By Brian R. Shmaefsky, Ph.D. Toxic shock Syndrome is a deadly infectious disease caused by two types of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome) and Streptococcus pyogenes (streptococcal toxic shock syndrome). Symptoms for each syndrome include fever, body aches, low blood pressure, vomiting or diarrhea, rash, and skin infection. The disease generally causes hospitalization and death if left untreated. This book investigates the causes, symptoms, and treatment of this disease, as well as its history and recent medical research.

Whether we're deciding to take a cholesterol drug or choosing a cancer treatment, we are overwhelmed by information from all sides: our doctors' recommendations, dissenting expert opinions, confusing statistics, conflicting media reports, the advice of friends, claims on the Internet, and a never-ending stream of drug company ads. This book shows us how to chart a clear path through this sea of confusion.
