title: [Kawasaki's disease. a case presentation].
abstract: A case of Kawasaki's disease in a girl of 2 10/12 years of age is presented. She had a typical clinical picture, without cardiovascular afectation, and with good final results. Apparently this is the third case reported in the Spanish medical literature. Attention is called to the low incidence of MLNS in the western countries--only 50 cases reported--as compared with the great number reported from Japan. The problems of diagnosis and pathogeny are discussed, particularly their intimate relation to infantile polyarteritis nodosa, because of the similarities in the cardiovascular alterations in both processes, above all in mortal cases.
