  • Title: Kawasaki disease and perineal rash.
    Author: Urbach AH, McGregor RS, Malatack JJ, Gartner JC, Zitelli BJ.
    Journal: Am J Dis Child; 1988 Nov; 142(11):1174-6. PubMed ID: 3177324.
    Abstract:
    During the past several years, we treated seven children with Kawasaki disease who developed a distinctive but rarely described perineal rash. This rash began three to four days from onset of the illness and desquamated in all instances by days 5 to 7. The presence of this rash may facilitate early diagnosis of Kawasaki disease and, hence, may influence the initiation of early treatment.
