title: Successful intravenous streptokinase treatment of a child with Kawasaki disease complicated by acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: A 9-year-old boy developed ischemic cardiac symptoms 1 year after he presented with Kawasaki disease. The myocardial infarction was confirmed by the typical changes of electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, cardiac enzymes, thallium myocardial scintigrams, and angiograms.
