Abstract

Kawasaki disease is a vasculitis of infant and childhood period. Diagnosis of Kawasaki disease is based on clinical criteria including cervical lymphadenopathy. Here we reported a 3.5-year-old boy presenting with Kawasaki disease mimicking bacterial lymphadenitis and fever. If a child presents with lymphadenopathy only which is unresponsive to antibiotics, Kawasaki disease should be considered.

Özet

Kawasaki hastalığı çocukluk ve infant dönemin bir vaskülitidir. Servikal lenfadenopatinin de içinde yer aldığı bazı klinik kriterler ile tanı konulur. Bu yazıda kliniğimize ateş ve bakteriyel lenfadenit kliniği ile başvuran 3,5 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Antibiyotiğe cevapsız bakteriyel lenfadenit kliniği ile başvuran olgularda Kawasaki hastalığı göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
