A 3-year-old girl was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS) and presented with multiple organ dysfunction. She was treated with bundle therapy from IVIG, aspirin, methylprednisolone, and continuous hemofiltration for fluid overload and acid-base imbalance. This process was followed by plasma exchange therapy twice. The clinical manifestations of this girl improved, and the patient was discharged on the 56th day of hospitalization.
