  • Title: [Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome). Description of a case (author's transl)].
    Author: Borel B, Delavenne J, Mandard JC, Rousselot P, Elie H.
    Journal: Sem Hop; ; 56(29-32):1297-300. PubMed ID: 6252620.
    Abstract:
    The authors relate a case of mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, first described by Kawasaki in 1967, including a fever, lasting more than five days, an erythematous rash, cervical lymphadenitis, with a usually good prognosis. One to two percent of patients die suddenly of cardiac failure with coronary aneurysm and thrombosis. Microscopically coronary arteries such as other arteries show inflammation with dilaceration of the vascular wall without necrosis. These pathologic features suggest a relationship to infantile periarteritis nodosa.
