Wereport a 10-year-old child with an unremarkable past history who presentedwith septic shock including hypotension, prolonged capillary refill time,decreased urine output (<0.5 ml/kg/h), metabolic acidosis, liver failure,respiratory failure. The symptoms resolved with supportive therapy. In ourpatient septic shock contributed to Ogilvie syndrome.
