[Kawasaki syndrome in an adult].
Kawasaki syndrome (KS) is an acute, febrile, exanthemous illness characterized by vasculitis of unknown origin mostly seen in children younger than four years of age. We describe a 24-year-old white male who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for KS. In addition to the diagnostic symptoms of KS this patient had symptoms from the liver and lungs.
