title: Pincer nail deformity after Kawasaki's disease.
abstract: We report a case of acquired pincer nails in an infant with Kawasaki's disease. Given the absence of pain, the nails were left undisturbed. The pincer nail deformity spontaneously resolved as the nails grew out. Surgical treatment of multiple affected nails in this child would have been medically unnecessary.
