To determine the prevalence of myocardial cell injury in children with septic shock by estimating the levels of biochemical markers of myocardial injury, troponin I (TnI) and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB). ⋯ A majority of children with septic shock have evidence of myocardial cell injury. The estimation of serum TnI levels may help in better prognostication of children with septic shock.
