中毒性休克综合征(toxic shock syndrome,简称TSS)一词首先由Todd在1978年提出。1980年以前,98%以上的TSS病例与经期使用棉塞有关。研究证明,在大多数TSS病例的阴道中有金葡菌繁殖,这有助于确定此菌为本病的致病因子。 1981年以前,大多数成人TSS被认为与经期使用棉塞有关。现在此综合征可见于和月经无关的多种手术,如手术创伤、输卵管结扎、子宫切除、乳房切除、鼻纵隔再造、股骨成形等手术。似乎,凡可使葡萄球菌繁殖的任何感染灶,如虫咬感染、烧伤、汗腺炎 The word toxic shock syndrome (TSS) was first proposed by Todd in 1978.

Studies have shown that there is S. aureus reproduction in the vagina of most TSS cases, which helps identify the bacterium as a causative agent of this disease.
