title: [Kawasaki's syndrome: description of 4 cases].
abstract: In this study we present four cases of Kawasaki syndrome; in two of them were present some particular aspects, besides the characteristic signs of the lymphonodal-mucocutaneous syndrome. One little girl showed, during the acute phase of the disease, paralysis of facial nerve, without other signs of neurological involvement; in the second patient, the outcome of the syndrome was quite atypical, because of an osteoarticular involvement; we also observed the presence of immature white blood cells in the peripheral blood. Three of the four cases were treated with acetyl-salicylic acid for almost one year, two of them were also treated with dypiridamol. A four years follow-up, after the acute phase, demonstrated a complete recovery, a normal clinical status and no damage of the cardiocirculatory system.
