Reviewer 2 Report

The case report "Acute appendicitis as the initial presentation of Kawasaki disease shock syndrome in children" describes an 8-year-old child with a diagnosis of KDSS following appendectomy. Details of the case, including illness presentation, progression, and treatment, as well as commentary regarding its rarity and significance, are appropriately provided. The report would benefit from further English language editing; there are minor errors throughout.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear authors,

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to Children. I would like to congratulate for your good work on this case report and review of the literature and for your effort to ensure readers a better view of this atypical form of presentation of Kawasaki disease. 

A few minor suggestion should be considered: having so little data on reported cases, it might be advisable to create a table with all the cases found and their characteristics. IAlso, in order to have a better view of the clinical course of the patient it is recommended to mention the exact medical treatment, including doses and step-up/step-down management.
