title: Kawasaki disease.
abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis affecting medium and small sized arteries. The diagnosis is based entirely on recognition of a typical sequence of clinical features. Detection of any one clinical feature does not have any diagnostic significance. We report an uncommon case of Kawasaki disease in 10 months old male child with the analysis of its natural history, etiopathology, treatment and prognosis of the disease.
