A Case of Toxic Shock Syndrome Following an Injury Sustained During Scuba Diving.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a common pathogen that resides as a commensal in humans. This pathogen can cause toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a severe condition characterized by sudden onset and rapid progression to multiple organ failure. The skin and soft tissues are common sites of primary infections. We report a rare case of a 51-year-old male, in whom TSS developed due to trauma to the knee sustained during scuba diving and successfully managed with intensive care, including appropriate antibiotic therapy and hemodialysis.
