Lymphadenitis and Fever: First Presentation of Kawasaki Disease
Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
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.
