  • Title: [Kawasaki syndrome in adults].
    Author: Roed C, Skinhøj P.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2009 Feb 02; 171(6):430-3. PubMed ID: 19208333.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki syndrome (KS), which is febrile systemic vasculitis complicated by coronary aneurysms, was initially described in children, but an increasing number of case-reports address adult-KS. The disease seems to be infectious of origin, but the causative agent has not been established. The debut of the disease is abrupt onset of high fever, followed by conjunctivitis, lymphadenopathy, rash, oral mucosal erythema and erythema of palms and soles. The diagnosis of KS is based on the presence of fever of at least four-five days' duration, plus four of the remaining criteria.
