An 18-month-old boy developed toxic shock syndrome (TSS) after a minor burn. He sustained a second-degree burn (superficial partial thickness) over 4-5% of the total body surface area on the right upper arm and lateral chest. Four days later, he developed a fever and was brought to the emergency room of our hospital. At presentation, he had tachycardia and peripheral coldness despite the fever. There were no signs of infection at the burn site, but diffuse erythema was observed on the left upper arm and lateral chest. He was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit for suspected TSS and compensated shock. Gradually, his condition stabilized and he was transferred to the general ward on day 4 of hospitalization. On day 7, desquamation away from the wound was observed. Staphylococcus aureus positive for the TSS toxin-1 gene was detected in the wound culture on admission, and we diagnosed probable TSS. Based on the course and physical examination findings, the patient was treated for TSS and had a good outcome without developing hypotension or multiple organ failure. TSS progresses rapidly and can be fatal, so it is important to be aware of TSS when treating febrile children with burns.

臨床経過および特徴的なMRI所見から可逆性脳梁膨大部病変を有する軽症脳炎・脳症 (clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion; MERS) と診断した2症例に対し, 急性期および回復期に脳梁膨大部をMR spectroscopyにて解析した. 2例ともにcholine/creatine比が回復期に比して急性期に高値となり, 髄鞘代謝に何らかの変化が生じていることが示された. みかけの拡散係数の低下が一過性であることと合わせ, MERSの病態として髄鞘浮腫が示唆された.
