Abstract
Kawasaki disease is an acute, febrile and systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. Beside artery involvement, which is the most serious and commonest complication, Kawasaki disesase may also affect other organ 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 8-month- old boy with prolonged fever, acute gastroenteritis and intestinal edema on admission, who was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease during the course of the disease with subsequently developed clinical and echocardiographic findings and treated successfully.
