Abstract
Surveillance by the Unexplained Deaths and Critical Illnesses Project (UNEX ) uncovered a novel presentation of adenovirus type 3 infection that satisf ied the criteria for toxic shock-like syndrome in a 28-year-old immunocompe tent man. Adenovirus may be a cause of toxic shock syndrome; surveillance s ystems such as UNEX may uncover additional causes of this and other clinica lly defined infectious syndromes.
