Kawasaki disease in an infant with cystic fibrosis.
The authors report a case of a 3-month-old infant with a very rare association: cystic fibrosis and Kawasaki disease. The clinical picture is atypical but cardiovascular signs consist of cardiomegaly, sick sinus syndrome and Q waves in D II, D III and AVF. The diagnosis is confirmed by the pathological changes found at the postmortem examination. The patient is the first case of Kawasaki disease reported in Romania.
