ABSTRACT

Kawasaki–like disease in a positive SARS-CoV-2 child: a laboratory approach.

This case describes the clinical presentation of a Kawasaki-like syndrome, an inflammatory process that can affect all blood vessels of the body and may cause cardiac complications, such as coronary artery aneurysms. Patients are typically children, the majority of them are below 5-year-old, who initially present high fever and non-specific skin rash. The girl who came to our attention showed typical clinical symptoms and the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease was made based on the clinical evaluation, anamnesis and interpretation of laboratory results. This case came to our observation during the recent Coronavirus pandemic infection in Northeast of Italy, and can be classified as a Kawasaki-like syndrome. The laboratory data recorded at the time of diagnosis and during the follow-up are presented and discussed.
