title: Kawasaki disease presenting as focal colitis.
abstract: Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) typically presents with fever, rash, lymphadenitis, and mucositis. The colon is rarely involved and, to date, colitis has not been described as the presenting symptom. We report the imaging findings of a child with Kawasaki disease who presented with fever and focal left colitis.
