  • Title: Giant coronary aneurysms developed in a child of Kawasaki disease with only 3 days of fever.
    Author: Lin MC, Hsu CM, Fu YC.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2010 Jun; 20(3):339-41. PubMed ID: 20307334.
    Abstract:
    Prolonged fever, 5 days or more, is the cardinal feature of Kawasaki disease. We described a 5-year-old boy with initial presentations of fever, conjunctivitis, and strawberry tongue. The fever only lasted for 3 days. However, giant coronary aneurysms developed later. This patient reminds us that coronary complications could happen even the fever is less than 5 days. Criteria of fever duration might need reconsideration.
