Components of the triad are not only counterproductive to athletic performance goals, but can lead to serious long-term negative health outcomes. Practitioners caring for female athletes play an important role detecting at-risk athletes early in their course along the disease spectrum. Importantly, women who are evaluated for one component of the triad should always be screened for the other two. Detecting the disorder early is the most important factor for preventing the potentially severe consequences, and requires heightened vigilance on the part of all those who work with this special patient population.

Toxin- producing strains of Group A streptococcus cause TSS. Ischemic optic neuropathy rarely complicates septic shock. We present a rare case of streptococcal pharyngitis complicated by septic arthritis and TSS with reversible blindness due to non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy.\u0000\u0000\u0000CASE\u0000A 28-year-old man drove to our ED with exudative pharyngitis. A rapid streptococcal test was positive. While awaiting oral penicillin he became hypotensive refractory to IV fluids and developed knee effusion. The patient noted progressive dimming of his vision. Arthrocentesis yielded GAS. ICU course was complicated by ARDS but after 2 weeks the patient was weaned off vasopressors and the ventilator. He regained his vision and had no neurological sequelae. The patient's GAS isolate was M protein gene (emm) type 1 and T type 1. He was followed in the IM clinic for 9 months post discharge with complete resolution of symptoms.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000The rapidity of the development of shock is attributed to streptococcal exotoxins acting as superantigens. GAS type M1 is commonly associated with severe shock in TSS. The severe shock was the likely cause of his ischemic optic neuropathy. Early recognition and aggressive management of TSS are crucial to clinical outcome.
