Abstract
We reported an adolescent male with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed septic shock due to Klebsiella pneumoniae. Continuous renal replacement therapy using a hemofilter with endotoxin adsorption capacity was used to remove endotoxin and cytokines. The promising result suggested that this technique may be applied as an adjuvant therapy for treatment of septic shock.
