| Description | Kawasaki disease (KD) was described more than 50 years ago and is still rare in our country. Etiopathogenesis KD has not been elucidated yet and similar findings of auxilliary examinations are missing. KD diagnosis still depends on the sequence of clinical signs that allow the determination of the classical variant of KD, but also the incomplete variant. Occasionally, it has been reported that some KD patients might present hemodynamic instability with severe shock symptoms. Herein we describe our experience with this serious course of KD. |
