  • Title: Small bowel obstruction as a complication of Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Murphy DJ, Morrow WR, Harberg FJ, Hawkins EP.
    Journal: Clin Pediatr (Phila); 1987 Apr; 26(4):193-6. PubMed ID: 3829564.
    Abstract:
    A case of small bowel obstruction in an 8-month-old infant with Kawasaki disease is described. At laparotomy a discrete area of jejunal stricture with adhesions was noted. Microscopic examination revealed evidence of small artery thrombosis. Kawasaki disease results in a diffuse vasculitis, which may produce significant abnormalities in multiple organ systems. Serious abdominal complications can occur and should be considered when gastrointestinal symptoms develop in a patient with Kawasaki disease.
