  • Title: Ocular manifestations of Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome).
    Author: Jacob JL, Polomeno RC, Chad Z, Lapointe N.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1982 Oct; 17(5):199-202. PubMed ID: 7172107.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes nine patients, five girls and four boys aged 4 months to 7 years (mean 3 3/4 years), who had the clinical and laboratory features of Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome). Eight of them had mild to moderate anterior uveitis, and one child showed choroidal, retinal and vitreous changes in one eye that caused a severe visual loss. Recognition of this disease is important, particularly since 1% to 2% of patients under 2 years of age die suddenly from coronary arteritis.
