Abstract

Objective: Kawasaki disease is the most common cause of an acute febrile vasculitis with unknown etiology after Henoch-Schnlein purpura ( HSP). The aim of our study is to contribute data on Kawasaki disease, which may lead to severe cardiac complications and death when it is misdiagnosed or not treated appropriately.
