Description
Kawasaki disease (KD) was diagnosed for a previously healthy 11-year-old boy after he presented with 5 days of fever, bilateral nonpurulent conjunctivitis, extremity edema, maculopapular rash, and oropharyngeal changes. The review of the boy’s systems was notable for the aforementioned symptoms as well as for headache, diffuse abdominal pain, nonbloody nonbilious emesis, and loose stools for 1 day. His medical history was noncontributory. He took no medications, had no allergies, and had up-to-date immunizations. His growth and development were normal, and his social and family history was noncontributory.
