This build up is caused by tampon usage, especially super absorbant types, and sometimes contraceptive sponges. Symptoms appear suddenly, and the disease can progress rapidly, sometimes resulting in death.

When a fever 'breaks', or goes down, it is often a sign that the disease has been overcome. Fevers can be dangerous if extreme.
