Abstract Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that may involve multiple organs. KD shock syndrome (KDSS) is a rare complication of KD. Pulmonary involvement is rare in KD; reports of patients with KD who develop KDSS and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are extremely rare. Case presentation A 2-year-old girl was brought to the emergency department with fever, cough and tachypnea. The patient was diagnosed with KDSS and ARDS. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and continuous blood purification were performed because of her critical condition. The patient eventually recovered completely. One year after discharge, there has been no coronary artery dilatation or pulmonary fibrosis. Conclusion KDSS patients may develop ARDS due to fluid resuscitation and the release of inflammatory mediators. Early aggressive management and comprehensive treatment may improve prognosis. |
