Resumen
FERNANDEZ FERRAN, Raquel; RODRIGUEZ GOMEZ, Osvaldo; RODRIGUEZ ACUNA, José A. y CAMACHO PLACENCIA, Carlos. Enfermedad de kawasaki: A propósito de un caso. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2000, vol.72, n.3, pp. 220-224. ISSN 1561-3119.
A two-months old female patient with symptoms and signs of Kawasaki disease is presented in this paper. Supplementary tests disregarded the presence of other common diseases in early childhood. The disease is reviewed, pointing out the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Despite her small age, the girls did not have any lesion in coronary arteries. A recovery was observed (temperature fell below 38 C) on the 4th day after beginning of the treatment. The single dosage of gammaglobulin scheme associated to salicylates was used.
