title: Failure to distinguish systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis from incomplete Kawasaki disease in an infant.
abstract: In an infant, an initial diagnosis of incomplete Kawasaki disease was made according to the American Heart Association guidelines. However, the diagnosis of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis was established later. Physicians need to recognize that systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis can be mistaken for incomplete Kawasaki disease, even when the guidelines are used.
