[Atypical course of Kawasaki syndrome in a 3-month old infant]

The authors report on the case history of a three-month-old infant with Kawasaki-syndrome. The course of the disease was atypical, the various symptoms (antibiotic resistant high fever, urticariform rash, meningitis serosa, steril pyuria, coronaria aneurysma, thrombocytosis, high sedimentation rate) developed slowly during a period of several weeks. The authors intend to point out that Kawasaki-syndrome may appear in early infancy, frequently in an atypical way.
