I just took the exam
And toxic shock syndrome is also found in packed cotton in the nose, any packed cotton in the body can cause toxic shock syndrome
The question I saw in the exam was a patient was bleeding posteriorly and the doc packed the nose and then the pt developed fever, hypotension and toxic shock syndrome
