Giant coronary aneurysms developed in a child of Kawasaki disease with only 3 days of fever
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 March 2010
Abstract
Prolonged fever, 5 days or more, is the cardinal feature of Kawasaki disease. We described a 5-year-old boy with initial presentations of fever, conjunctivitis, and strawberry tongue. The fever only lasted for 3 days. However, giant coronary aneurysms developed later. This patient reminds us that coronary complications could happen even the fever is less than 5 days. Criteria of fever duration might need reconsideration.
