ATYPICAL KAWASAKI DISEASE- DILATATION OF ASCENDING AORTA AND PERIPHERAL GANGRENE
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 23
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aetiology of Kawasaki disease is still unknown and no single pathognomonic clinical or laboratory finding for the diagnosis has been identified. However, paediatricians sometimes encounter febrile children who do not fulfil all the diagnostic criteria prepared by the Japanese Kawasaki Disease Research Committee 2 or the American Heart Association (AHA), but have several findings compatible with those of Kawasaki disease. In this situation, the diagnosis of incomplete or atypical Kawasaki disease is made.
