Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome associated with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy leading to compartment syndrome of the lower extremity

We report a case of a 56-year old multimorbid male patient who was transferred to our specialized burn center with a combination of extensive blistering with underlying deep tissue necrosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and compartment syndrome to the left lower extremity. He was treated w...
