Abstract:
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common systemic vasculitis of childhood involving medium sized
arteries that may result in life-threatening coronary artery abnormalities [1]. Children with
Kawasaki disease generally do not develop shock however, in some patients a more intense
inflammatory response may lead to shock syndrome [2]. This is a case of a seven-year-old male
who presented with neck pain, fever, rash, and with clinical signs of poor perfusion and shock.
2D-echocardiography showed dilated coronary arteries, and he was managed as a case of
Kawasaki Disease Shock Syndrome (KDSS).
