"Unresolving pneumonia" as the main manifestation of atypical Kawasaki disease.
Two cases of atypical Kawasaki disease (KD) manifested as persistent lobar lung consolidation, prolonged fever, and active inflammatory laboratory markers unresponsive to antibiotic treatment are reported. One of the children developed a giant coronary aneurysm. Atypical KD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young children with prolonged fever and lobar consolidation unresponsive to antibiotics.
