Patients with high-dose chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression are at high risk for infectious complications with multiple organ dysfunction, which may lead to significantly higher mortality. We report a clinical case of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome caused by gram-negative septic shock in a child after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We describe intensive care treatment modalities employed at different stages of therapy as well as the specifics of vital signs monitoring. The patient's parents gave their consent to the use of their child's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
