    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 2001 Sep; 25(3):239-41. PubMed ID: 11587880.
    Abstract:
    A 4-year-old female was hospitalized with clinical and electroencephalographic evidence of acute encephalopathy. Five days later the classic signs of Kawasaki disease appeared. The neurologic outcome in this female was poor despite early treatment with immunoglobulin. Like many other vasculitidies, Kawasaki disease can have predominant neurologic symptoms as the initial presentation and during the subsequent evolution of the condition.
