title: [Kawasaki disease associated with Epstein-Barr virus].
abstract: We describe a 14-month-old child who for 3 weeks had high fever and developed lesions of the mucous membranes, enlarged lymph nodes, and an erythematous rash. Kawasaki disease was diagnosed and there was clear evidence for infection with Epstein-Barr virus. Thus it is possible that this virus is one of the etiological factors in the development of Kawasaki disease.
