A characteristic “sunburn-like” skin rash typically develops within a few hours of onset, with later scaling and peeling (desquamation) of skin, particularly of the palms and soles. In severe cases, blood pressure may fall dangerously low (hypotension), with an inadequate blood supply to body tissues (shock).
When do TSS symptoms start?
In general, TSS symptoms can develop as soon as 12 hours after a surgical procedure. Symptoms usually develop in 3 to 5 days in women who are menstruating and using tampons. If you experience the above symptoms after using tampons or after a surgery or skin injury, contact your health care provider immediately.
