The death rate of toxic shock-like syndrome (following TSLS) followed by necrosis and circulation failure by fulminating type A hemolytic streptococcus infection is high; many of these cases result in amputation for life saving. Report of rehabilitation of amputation cases by TSLS are rare, and there have no reports of rehabilitation and amputation of the four extremities by TSLS in Japan in the last 20 years. We report a 57-years-old female who underwent amputation of the four extremities by TSLS. With the first-aid and orthopedics departments, surgery was successfully completed. The patient returned home and was able to carry out her daily life activities (following ADL) with artificial legs. Following surgery, ADL improved perhaps because she was able to keep her left first finger.
