Kawasaki disease is a vasculitis of medium sized arteries which is diagnosed by exclusion and by use of diagnostic criteria. It needs a high index of suspicion to diagnose and should be suspected in any child with history of fever for more than a week with rash and lymphadenopathy. Such patients should be treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and Aspirin to prevent complications. Here we report a case of Kawasaki Disease who presented with prolonged fever, rash and lymphadenopathy and made an uneventful recovery.
