How to Diagnose Toxic Shock Syndrome
The doctor will perform a physical and pelvic exam. The doctor may test tissue in your vagina or in a wound that could be the source of the bacteria. Although these tests are often done, they can be commonly negative. The diagnosis is based on the fever, the rash, low blood pressure, and problems affecting multiple body systems. Other tests may be done to rule out other medical conditions.
