  • Title: Kawasaki disease resembling a retropharyngeal abscess--case report and literature review.
    Author: Hung MC, Wu KG, Hwang B, Lee PC, Meng CC.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2007 Feb 07; 115(2):e94-6. PubMed ID: 17126927.
    Abstract:
    A retropharyngeal abscess is a rare presentation of Kawasaki disease. Herein, we present a case of Kawasaki disease mimicking a retropharyngeal abscess, and review five previously published case reports. Once the correct diagnosis of Kawasaki disease is established, any abscess-like lesion on computed tomography may be just a false-positive finding.
