assistant
The correct answer is  Toxic shock syndrome is a potentially fatal multisystem disease presenting with fever, hypotension, myalgia, vomiting, diarrhoea, mucosal hyperemia and an erythematous rash which desquamates subsequently. This is associated with infection of mucosal or sequestered sites by toxic shock syndrome toxin(TSST)-producing S.aureus strains usually belonging to bacteriophage GROUP 1.TSST type 1(formerly also known as enterotoxin type F or pyrogenic exotoxin C) is most often responsible, though enterotoxins B or C may also cause the syndrome.
