Bone marrow and lymph node findings in a fatal case of Kawasaki's disease.
Since the initial description in 1967, the clinical and laboratory features of Kawasaki's disease (KD) have been well documented. We studied a patient with KD who recovered from the acute phase of the disease, but who subsequently died at home from coronary arteritis. We describe this patient because of bone marrow and lymph node findings that have previously received little attention in the English-language literature.
