PEDS: Kawasaki Disease

Today's Episode Charlee reviews chapter 18 from the Pediatric Morning Report book. A 4-year-old fully immunized male presents with 2 days of fever and irritability. His examination is normal. He is presumed to have a viral syndrome and discharged with reassurance and instruc- tions to bring him back if his fever continues or if any other symptoms of concern develop. Three days later, the patient is brought back. His fevers have persisted, rising as high as 103°F. He has been particularly irritable, and new symptoms include red eyes and a rash. There has been no recent travel or known animal exposures. He has been on no medications other than intermit- tent acetaminophen and ibuprofen for the fever.
