Abstract:
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome that commonly presents with stable hemodynamic status during the acute phase. An 8-year-old boy initially presented with severe hypotension and acute kidney injury. He was placed in the intensive care unit and was diagnosed with KD. Observed clinical features were defined as KD shock syndrome. His coronary artery was dilated during the subacute phase. Furthermore, he was given anti-hypertensive medications, owing to hypertension as an unusual complication of KD. We knew the importance of monitoring for blood pressure considering vasculitis as an aspect of the main pathogenesis of KD.
