[Kawasaki disease: report of 6 cases]

Six cases of children between 20 months and 6 years old, who suffer Kawasaki disease are presented. All of them had diagnostic parameters required by the Investigation Committee of this disease, with similar clinical symptoms as in other countries but with an upper average age (3 years old) to Japanese patients and nearer to that of the North American patients. It is important to emphasize the appearance of exanthema in one case, as well as a multiforme erythema exudative, a rare fact, and the observation, up to now not shown, of a positive rheumatoid factor in another two of the patients. All have undergone a good evolution without cardiovascular complications.
