For staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome, the diagnosis is based strictly upon CDC criteria defined in 2011, as follows: 1  Body temperature > 38.9 Â°C (102.02 Â°F) 2  Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg. 3  Diffuse macular erythroderma.  Desquamation (especially of the palms and soles) 1â2 weeks after onset.
Symptoms usually appear 1 to 3 days after exposure. Influenza symptoms can include a sudden onset of fever, headache, chills, cough, sore throat, and body aches. Diarrhea is not common.
Symptoms may appear within 2 to 10 days after exposure to an infected person-even longer for women (up to 3 weeks). 1  It is important to note that infected women have no symptoms in 30% to 40% of cases. 2  Thus it is possible to be infected with gonorrhea and not know about the infection.
