Summary
Cervical lymphonoditis is a common event in childhood. In differential diagnostic protocol Kawasaki syndrome (KS) should be considered. The diagnosis of Kawasaki disease is based on presence of diagnostic criteria (dominant symptoms): fever, cervical lymphonoditis, conjunctivitis, stomatitis, skin lesions of palm and sole and red rush. These common nonspecific symptoms have features that are typical for KS. Early diagnosis and onset of treatment (intravenous imunoglobulin administration) prevent from development of coronary complications that could have fatal sequel. We bring a detailed description of the clinical of KS and two case reports.
Key words:
Kawasaki disease (syndrome), vasculitis, coronary aneurysm, fever, exanthema in children, cervical lymphonoditis (lymfadenitis), conjunctivitis, aseptic meningitis, infectious mononucleosis, strawberry tongue, imunoglobuline, infliximab
