    Author: García Pavón S, Staines Boone T, Hernández Bautista V, Yamazaki Nakashimada MA.
    Journal: Rev Alerg Mex; 2006; 53(2):76-8. PubMed ID: 16884033.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile multisystemic vasculitis affecting children that can affect the coronary arteries. Routine BCG vaccination in Mexico leads to a 99% coverage in infants younger than 1 year. We present a case of Kawasaki disease with skin lesions at the site of BCG. Clinicians should be aware of this clinical manifestation that could help diagnose atypical or incomplete cases of the disease.
