Abstract:
Kawasaki disease(KD) is an acute febrile vasculitis with various clinical manifestations and the most common cause of acquired coronary arterial lesion in pediatric population. Occasionally, KD can be presented with some kind of unusual associations. of these, cases associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia(AIHA) have been rarely reported worldwide.
