Abstract
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) has been infrequently reported as a complication of AIDS. We present the case of a 24-year-old man, previously unknown to be positive for the human immunodeficiency virus, presenting in septic shock. The literature on TSS in AIDS is reviewed and the association between the two diseases is presented.
