Abstract

Incomplete Kawasaki disease (iKD), which does not satisfy the standard KD diagnostic criteria because the required number of principal symptoms is not met, sometimes causes coronary aneurysms. Here we report the case of a patient with iKD who presented with only one principal symptom that resulted in the development of coronary aneurysm, as evidenced by angiography.

Keywords: Coronary arterial lesion; Diagnosis; Echocardiography; Lymph node; Mucocutaneous.
