Kawasaki disease was first recognized and described in 1961 by Tomisaku
Kawasaki with approximately 85% of cases occurring in the pediatric
population (1). It is an acute systemic vasculitis of medium-sized
vessels with a diagnostic pentad of high-grade fever, mucositis,
cervical lymphadenopathy, extremity edema, and rash (2). The most
serious complication of the disease is progression of the coronary
artery vasculitis to aneurysm formation.
