Abstract

|
|
|
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection can cause clinical problems such as mesenteric lymphadenitis, erythema nodosum, reactive arthritis, acute renal failure, sepsis, and clinical symptoms resembling Kawasaki disease. A 2-year-old girl presented with fever for 5 days, rash, bilateral conjuctival injection, red lips, and strawberry tongue. She was diagnosed atypical Kawasaki disease based on clinical symptoms and laboratory findings, but our study revealed the isolation of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in blood culture. We describe a case of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection resembling atypical Kawasaki disease.
