A member asked:

How long does it take for symptoms of toxic shock syndrome to go away with treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several days/weeks: If the treatment is intensive before it becomes a full blown cardiac emergency- days. If ICU care is involved, then weeks after antibiotics, blood replacement, and sometimes d.I.C.(clotting problems) occasionally, if the diagnosis is missed or not treated soon enough, death is the result.
