Abstract
|
|
|
Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis characterized by mucosal inflammation, rash, cervical adenopathy, indurative edema of the hands and feet, and late desquamation of the fingertips. The cause of this systemic vasculitis is unknown. thus the
diagnosis is based solely on clinical criteria. We experienced two cases of Kawasaki disease. One patient had a typical case of Kawasaki disease combined with coronary aneurysm and hydrops of gallbladder. The other patient had an atypical case of
kawasaki disease, which was complicated by subdural hemorrhage. Both were associated with Coxiella burnetii infection.
