17. A 23-year-old man undergoes surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum. After the procedure, nasal packing is left in place to prevent excessive bleeding. Two days late he develops fever, diarrhea, an erythematous rash, and hypotension. Laboratory studi show leukocytosis and an increased serum creatinine concentration. This syndrome is most likely caused by which of the following processes? A) Accelerated allergic reaction to the nasal packing OB) Antigen antibody-induced vasculitis OC) Endotoxin-induced multiple organ failure D) Exotoxin-mediated polyclonal stimulation of T lymphocytes F) Inflammatory response secondary to a nasal abscess 2
