Abstract
In a prospective study the distribution of Toxic-1 (TSST-1) antibody titers was proved by 236 menstruating, tampon using volunteers. They are divided in 7 different age groups. Up to 11% of the volunteers under 25 years had no TSST-1 antibody-titers at all. Over 25 years of age this could be detected. In the group over 40 years of age 98% were found with antibody-titers up than 1:100. So it may be suggested that there is no general causal relationship between any type of tampon on TSS.Entities:
