Core Tip	Kawasaki disease (KD) is a childhood illness that can damage the heart if not recognized early. We describe a 19-month-old boy who developed fever, cough, and rash for almost a month, but was repeatedly treated as having infections. He suddenly went into cardiac arrest and was found to have severe heart vessel damage with clots from undiagnosed KD. He required prolonged resuscitation, advanced life support, and multiple treatments including cooling therapy, combined interventions of continuous renal replacement and plasma exchange. Remarkably, he recovered with good heart and brain function, showing the importance of early recognition and aggressive care in severe KD.
