  • Title: Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (Kawasaki disease) in adults.
    Author: Everett ED.
    Journal: JAMA; 1979 Aug 10; 242(6):542-3. PubMed ID: 448988.
    Abstract:
    Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome has been reported to occur only in children. Three adults aged 16 to 27 years had findings compatible with this illness. Patients with fever, polymorphous skin eruption, congested conjunctiva, reddened palms and soles, red lips and oral mucous membrane, and soft-tissue swelling of the peripheral extremities and who experience membranous desquamation of fingers and toes should be suspected of having mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. No laboratory test is currently available for confirmation of the diagnosis.
