[Kawasaki's disease. Presentation of 2 clinical cases].
The authors describe two cases of Kawasaki disease, one of whose is an "incomplete" form, and emphasize the importance to know this "new" disease in the differential diagnosis of febrile exanthemas of childhood. A complete diagnostic walk-up failed to find out a probably, while change of some immunological and flogistic parameters has permitted to suppose a probably immuno-mediated pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease. Both patients healed without any sequelae after therapy with low doses of salicylate for ten months, in confirmation of usefulness of this treatment in the prevention of heart complications of Kawasaki disease.
