Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs predominantly in infants and young children. The diagnosis of KD is based on the presence of fever lasting longer than 5 days and at least other four of the five clinical criteria. Patients with incomplete presentations of KD have a higher complication rate which is likely related with delayed diagnosis and treatment. We report the first Korean case of incomplete KD in which cutaneous change on a previous BCG vaccination site play an important role as a diagnostic clue.
