title: [Pediatric septic shock--timing, volume resuscitation and anticoagulation therapy].
abstract: Pediatric septic shock is associated with severe hypovolemia, and children frequently respond well to aggressive volume resuscitation. In recent years, improved outcome has been reported when aggressive volume resuscitation and goal-directed therapies were applied to children with septic shock. We report a case of severe meningococcal septic shock in a child aged 16 months where aggressive volume resuscitation and anticoagulation therapy were applied.
