Abstract

Streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS) is a rare and fatal infection associated with Streptococcus pyogens (group A streptococcus). While there are documented cases of TSLS, it is rarely observed following extraction on non-infected wisdom teeth. We describe the diagnostic criteria and successful treatment of a case of TSLS resulting in multisystem organ failure following uncomplicated extraction of his wisdom teeth in a healthy 18-year-old male.
