Abstract | Kawasaki disease, a medium vessel vasculitis, is seen commonly in children below 5 years of age. In developing countries Kawasaki disease is being increasingly reported, and is one of the emerging leading causes of acquired heart disease in children. Diagnosis of this case is often missed in this age group as it is not considering an upfront clinical possibility in a febrile child which often leads to delay in diagnosis and initiation of therapy. A 2 years old male child got admitted on 24/08/2022 under PICU, AIIMS, Raipur with chief complaints of cough and cold for 7 days, fever for 5 days, redness of eyes for 2 days, 3 days back, rash for 3 days, vomiting after meals for 2 days, fast breathing for 1 day, redness of palm and soles for 1 day, neck swelling for 1 day. The patient underwent basic investigations to rule out the diagnosis and differential diagnosis and was treated with oxygen support, IVIg, aspirin, antibiotics and supportive management. There was significant improvement in the child’s condition and was discharged with follow up advise. |
