  • Title: Kawasaki syndrome associated with group A streptococcal and Epstein-Barr virus co-infections.
    Author: Barton M, Melbourne R, Morais P, Christie C.
    Journal: Ann Trop Paediatr; 2002 Sep; 22(3):257-60. PubMed ID: 12369491.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of Kawasaki syndrome complicated by coronary aneurysm in a 6-year-old boy with laboratory evidence of group A streptococcal infection and infectious mononucleosis. The case demonstrates that evidence of acute infection in a patient with features suggestive of Kawasaki syndrome should not exclude a diagnosis of the latter. Immunoglobulin therapy should be considered seriously in highly suggestive cases, even if diagnostic criteria are not fulfilled.
