Abstract

Kawasaki disease is acute, febril and systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Beside coronary arter involvement, which is the most serious and commonest complication, Kawasaki disesase may also affect other systems. Presentations with nonspesific clinical pictures, lead to delays in the diagnosis and the treatment of the disease and increase the risk of coronary arter involvement. In this report, we present an eight months old boy with prolonged fever, acute gastroenteritis and intestinal edema on admission, who was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease on the course of the disease with the subsequently developed clinical and echocardiographic findings and treated successfully.
