A severe case of neonatal toxic shock syndrome-like exanthematous disease with superantigen-induced high T cell response.

Abstract	Most newborn patients with a neonatal type of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), called neonatal TSS-like exanthematous disease (NTED), exhibit mild clinical symptoms. We present the case of a patient with NTED who exhibited exceptionally severe clinical symptoms and an adult-type T cell response to the causative toxin TSS toxin-1.
